I have hard disk backups setup using amanda on Fedora Core 3. Everything is
great except when I use amrecover. Trying to restore an old file I will get tar
errors like this:
tar: ./dir/somefile: invalid sparse archive member
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
Do I need to dump the vanilla tar (1.14.4), and compile from a special source
version for amanda to work with tar backups?
Probably, if I've understood the bug correctly the backup is fine it's
just the restoring that doesn't work. If you can it would be interesting
to know if tar-1.15.1 works ok for you.
