I now removed 3.1.3, and installed 3.2.3 (latest stable). I then redid the mentioned steps and now I get:
$ file bb bb: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Wed May 18 02:50:06 2011, max speed $ tar -tf bb | head ./ ./.vmware/ ./bin/ ./boot/ ./dev/ ./etc/ ./etc/NetworkManager/ ./etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ ./etc/SuSEconfig/ ./etc/X11/ (note the missing "-z" in the tar-cmd, seems that tar detects the compression) So now I am able to manually restore, decrypt and untar this image. - Then I retried "amrestore /dev/nst0 juno root_enc" (from tape). I get: $ file juno.root_enc.20110517220001.1.0000001 juno.root_enc.20110517220001.1.0000001: POSIX tar archive (GNU) $ tar -tf juno.root_enc.20110517220001.1.0000001 | head ./ ./.vmware/ ./bin/ ./boot/ ./dev/ ./etc/ ./etc/NetworkManager/ ./etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ ./etc/SuSEconfig/ ./etc/X11/ - Much better! I will run new dumps tonight and re-test tomorrow. Thanks, Stefan
