What OS and dump version was the data backed up from? What OS and dump version
are you trying to restore to?
In general, the dump type (xfsdump, vdump, etc.) and sometimes even the
version must be the same for backup and restore. This is an unfortunate
consequence of Amanda's use of native tools.
the clients that i'm testing at the moment are running CentOS4.2 and the
server that did this backup is running CentOS 3.something 6 i think -
I'm testing this restore on a server running RH7.3 and this is chucking
the error.
I'm currently running a test restore on the same server that did the
backup to see if that works -
I'll confirm dump versions shortly
