Before you get too far, make sure you are running a new version of tar (check with `tar --version). Version 1.13 (available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/) causes Amanda to generate corrupt index files, so recovering files can be painful. If you need a new version, get a copy of tar from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/tar/. -- Mike Hicks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Unix Support Assistant | Carlson School of Management Office: 1-160 Phone: 6-7909 | University of Minnesota
