hi guys. we're run amcheckdump on a backup we just did and it has given us a few outputs we're not sure about -whether it is tar being non-understanding of a backup using spanned tapes, or something else? we're a bit lost so hopefully someone can help
ps. ignore the file paths below, i just changed them to cover our hostname/directories. ..20081029235711 level 0 part 4 on tape AmaTor-007 file #1 "/dev/nst0" uses deprecated device naming convention; using "tape:/dev/nst0" instead. /bin/gtar: Read 2048 bytes from - /bin/gtar: Unexpected EOF in archive /bin/gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now Validation process returned 2 (full status 512) using '/bin/gtar tf - > /tmp/amanda_amcheckdump && cat > /tmp/amanda_amcheckdump'.

And/Or is it really something to worry about. What about the last error, validation process returned 2? What does this mean? is there any way to run a check on the tape itself, and not the whole backup again, to save time?
