Re: Using amrecover - strange happenings

I do not remember exactly what was a reason for this error, but I saw it
before :-)
1. Are you indexing this DLE?
2. What OS are you using? FC3 distributive had tar 1.14 with a bug - > check
the amrecover log file and if error happens at the "tar" point, then simple
upgrade your tar RPM or reinstall it from sources

Subject: Using amrecover - strange happenings
Guys,
I would appreciate some help with this one, as it's freaking me out. I
have
been getting backups for a while now of a particular host and file system.
I
have tested the recovery before and it worked great.
This time, I put the necessary tape in, and run amrecover and it will
only
restore the directories. The files will not restore, and I keep getting
the
error:
./laptopBackups/Documents and Settings/My Documents/
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 2
Continue [?/Y/n]?
so I started looking at the actual index for that and their are no files
listed
in the index, only directories.
I started checking the dates, and it seems like the directories have been
backed up, and they all have the same date of backup, but the actual
documents
have a different date. It's like they were backed up once, but never got
backed up again.
Does this have to do with the tape rotation? what am I missing? I have
the
tape that lists the documents, and it even lists them when I browse the
tape
with amrecover, but I can't extract them, I get the error above.
Please help,
Steve
