I've successfully run Amanda on many different platforms and thought I had
the above platform working fine. Its been doing backups for almost a year.

Needed to restore some files only to find that somehow the files are
corrupt. For example a 46MB file restores as a 36MB file.

No indication of problems or errors during the backup or restore. Tried
both compressed and uncompressed backups (using gzip and tar 1.12 patched)

Doing a tar directly to tape, an HP DAT DSS1 drive, and then restoring the
files is fine. 

This is a single machine backing up to its own tape drive.

I realize there's not alot to go on here but can anyone point me in the
right direction on how to isolate this issue?

Thanks

John
