Reading the FAQ AFTER the fact looks like I may have a serious problem.
I backed up a directory using flexbackup with tar and bzip2 compression. I'm using flexbackup 1.2.1 with mbuffer.
During the backup, flexbackup prompted me for a second tape. I put in the second tape and pressed enter (as prompted) to continue.
Now I am unable to extract the data from the second tape. I'm not concerned about the file at the transition point, but I need the remaining data after that point.
Below is a list of the commands I used, and the results.
I appreciate any help. Going forward, it looks like one tape is the best way to go.
Thanks,
Darrick

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Invalid argument
Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted. You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.
You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.
