When looking at the file, it starts with the "PK" magic bits, not with an Amanda header. Our server is Linux anyway, so "dd" wouldn't be an issues. Running the Linux "fille" command on the zip file also identifies it as a version 2 ZIP file. Essentially my problem is that only native "pkzip" (not free) can read the file but Linux "unzip" and 7Zip cannot read the file. Cheers, Markus
