    Silly question that I am sure someone has seen,
but I could not see an answer on the wiki's for.

  While doing a restore of the backups for a windows machine
(backup via the zmanada client install) the restore fails with
a /bin/tar.exe error.

In the header of the backup AMANDA: FILE it specifies "/bin/tar.exe -f -"
without the "x" option:

dd if=<tape> bs=32k skip=1 |       /bin/gzip -dc |   /bin/tar.exe -f - ...




   I can take the backup via command line and extract the file by adding
the "x" to the tar command.
Is there any options on the client (2.5.1.2) to change it to allow using the "x" tar option so the backups of the windows machine will function with amrestore.


Thanks for any input.
