server that ran the backup
Linux 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp
dump 0.4b37
client that got backed up
Linux 2.6.9-22.ELsmp
dump 0.4b39
sorry to reply to myself here but on another test
client
Linux 2.4.20
dump 0.4b27
and the same server did a succesful restore so it seems that if the
client version of dump is higher than the server the restore barfs
however the opposite appears to give a good restore -
Looks like i'm going to have to install myself a new server box with
dump 0.4b39 so get around this - Unless anyone has any other suggestions?
thanks
