I am currently running Amanda v2.4.1p1, with tar v1.13.17, gzip v1.3.3.  I 
am currently backing up an NT share that contains alot of files that total 
up in size exceeding 4 gig.  I am running with compression on the server, 
and backing up the share from the backup server (yes, I know it is quicker 
to backup off the backup server).

The reason I am writing -->> every time I have tried to restore parts 
anything back to the NT share it fails.  The current restore failed and 
wrote the following in the amidxtaped file:

amrestore:  74: restoring 
backup.logical.net.__web1.logical.net_Domains.20020503.0

gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 2124414976+32768, wrote 134525600
amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file.
amrestore: skipping ahead to start of next file, please wait...
amidxtaped: amrestore terminated normally with status: 2
Rewinding tape: done
amidxtaped: pid 20256 finish time Thu May  9 17:14:49 2002

The Broken pipe has shown up every time I try to do a restore to this NT 
share.  I don't seem to have problems restoring any data to my Unix 
partitions and data to NT partitions where the total space is not alot.  
Does anyone have a clue as to what might the problem here be??  It is rather 
time consuming to have to go and run the restore only to discover that I end 
up having to restore the data by hand.

Any/all assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
