Well, I'm not quite sure we're talking bout the same thing, but when I use
encryption, I get something like this in the dumpfiles:
To restore, position tape at start of file and run:
dd if=<tape> bs=32k skip=1 | /usr/sbin/amcrypt-ossl-asym -d | /bin/gzip
-dc |
/bin/tar -xpGf - ...
So far, having to restore something encrypted, I did use the above commands and
it worked just fine.
