I ran across a machine using a bad version of tar (big numbers in the index files). That has been fixed, and a full backup is being forced tonight, but I'm wondering about backups on old tapes. I realize that I wouldn't be able to interactively use amrecover, but would a manual fsf and tar -x of a level 0 return a full backup of the directory, or is it all so much wasted tape? In other words, do corrupted indexes mean corrupted data or just partial incrementals?
