So all the extracted files look OK on the server.
There must be a glitch in the communication between the 2 machines, which
does not appear during backup.
Note that the 2 machines are virtual servers both sitting on the same
physical machine. There is no other sign of communication failure between
the 2 systems.
I _guess_ the data communication between the 2 systems is done through the
amidxtape service and is using the tcp protocol, so I doubt there is a
complete communication failure without being noticed, this leads me to
believe that there must be some garbled data offset, or amfetchdump does
things differently.
