i haven't been able to fully or exactly duplicate your problem :-( (i've tried all kinds of invocations and variants with 2gb of plain bookworm chroot as backup source...) without -b 256 none of the backups i've done with the b47 dump showed any problems when restoring with the b49 version. (if we can't find a better solution, could you have a check if omitting the blocksize does provide a workaround for your setup?) with -b 256, the b49 version threw an 'unsupported compression type 7' error...but that's as close as i could get to the showstopper you reported. slightly better news is that i also tested restoring with the version in testing and unstable, 0.4b54-1, and that restored older backups with or without -b just fine. 0.4b54-1 has just been accepted into stable-backports: could you please have a go at installing that (once it hits the mirrors) and test restores with that version? regards az -- Alexander Zangerl + GPG Key 2FCCF66BB963BD5F + https://snafu.priv.at/ Fachbegriffe der Informatik, Updateitis: Softwarebulemie -- Frank Klemm
