Hi, I had a "situation" today where I needed to recover my /boot directory. Not bad that I have backups I thought. But then I got a restore error. I already restored from time to time stuff with bacula and never got this kind of error. I neither have bad RAM, nor is my CPU overclocked. The error is reproduceable and stops at the same position everytime. I'm backing up to an external USB2 harddisk so It cannot be related to a "bad tape". But I wonder why I'm getting this error and why I got no "backup failed" message in the first place. I mean - how can I now rely on my backups in the future? Can I make the backup more bullet prove? I doubt that the files where corrupted later so imho this must have happend when the backup was created?!
