Probably, if I've understood the bug correctly the backup is fine it's just the restoring that doesn't work. If you can it would be interesting to know if tar-1.15.1 works ok for you.I have hard disk backups setup using amanda on Fedora Core 3. Everything is great except when I use amrecover. Trying to restore an old file I will get tar errors like this:
tar: ./dir/somefile: invalid sparse archive member tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers
Do I need to dump the vanilla tar (1.14.4), and compile from a special source version for amanda to work with tar backups?
