Hello Markus!


1) I can use amfetchdump to get what appears to be a zip file:
# file staff15.zip
staff15.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract

2) The "unzip" command (which has ZIP64 support) does not recognize this as a proper file:


Amanda dump images have a 32 kB special amanda header in the beginning, followed by the actual backed-up data. This header contains, among other things, human-readable information about how to extract the dump. In order to extract the dump, this 32 kB header should be discarded from the dumpfile and the remainder fed to the specific extract tool. On Unix-like systems this is usually done with dd. I don't have much experience with such things on Windows, but something similar surely exists.

HTH,
