For me, amverify refuses to run a verify on tar backups made with any program that isn't called tar. For instance, I installed a custom-compiled tar on a freebsd machine and called it gtar. Amverify thinks it doesn't know how to handle gtar, even though gtar is gnu tar 1.13.25. I even put some symlinks on the backup server; /usr/local/bin/gtar points to /bin/tar, but this didn't help either. -- Kurt Yoder Sport & Health network administrator
