My amanda server is a linux box mybackup.me.com 192.1.1.1
My solaris client is a solaris 7 box sun-server.me.com 192.1.1.2
The email says everything was backed up and the index file lists all
the correct files, but when I try to extract a file it asks me if I
want to restore it to a <scrambled text> dir instead of the proper
dir. What's wrong?

The following tapes are needed: DailySet222
Restoring files into directory ¨yass@%^!%@#^!?
The amanda.conf on the server used a dump rather than gnu tar and
compression was enabled.
The linux versions were:
dump 0.4b19
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.17
The sun versions were:
# dump -V
dump: Software Generation Utilities (SGU) Solaris-ELF (4.0)
The gnu tar is /bin/tar which come with solaris 7
Is amrecover refusing to restore the file because it was dumped on
solaris which has compatibility issues with the linux dump?
Thanks.
