I would restore it back to a windows server and check it there, then ftp to the 
Linux or copy to a samba mounted Linux drive and check it again.

I know for a fact that some windows files just do not restore to unix well ( 
found this out when try to convert from a windows master to a unix master)

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Data Corruption (How to Troubleshoot)

Hello guys,

I have this 20GB TAR file (created with 7zip) on a Windows machine. I perform 
a backup of this TAR file and everything goes ok.  When I restored the file 
on a Linux host I first noticed the file size was off by a few bytes and I'm 
unable to extract it. I then verified with md5sum and I get a different hash 
from that of the original file (on Windows I use the md5sum.exe from 
etree.org).

I really don't know if it's something going on while doing the backup or while 
doing the restore :(       How would you troubleshoot this since there's no 
backup verification process on NBU?

Thanks,
Jorge
