As much trouble as it's caused, we probably should. >Does that mean that all the backups are no good, even >though they recovered on some servers before? ... As I recall, the backups are OK, it's just the index files that are bogus. And as I wrote in private mail, I *think* the bad index files can be mangled back into something Amanda will be happy with. >I specifically installed this version of tar in October to work with >Amanda.
