Yup. Afio's compression flags work a little bit funny (especially if you want it to use bzip2). Try something like this: afio -i -k -x -P bzip2 -Q -d -Z -v root.0.20030706.afio-bz2 > Some of my backup files are > 2GB (only 2 of them) and my server was > running linux redhat 7.3 (ie 2Gb limit) i took them over to my 64-bit > solaris machine thinking I could unzip them there but to no avail - as > these files were written on a 32bit system and are > 2GB are they > useless? You can probably get them back if they were validly archived. I'm guessing that the above problem is part of whats stopping you. You might what to add the "--small" flag to bzip2 if you are running out of memory.
