Hi, I have a bad tar file I created using smbtar which I need to restore from.
I can unzip the file but still get this error msg when I try and run tar tvf or xvf: tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors This is what I get if I do file PC-392.Fri.full.tar PC-392.Fri.full.tar: ASCII text If I run strings on the file, I can see some of the readable data so it is not in tar format. Other backups have worked correctly for that particular day using the same script/commands. I tried using smbtar to restore from the archive but that also fails with: checksums don't match 0 22394 abandoning restore, -1 from read tar header Is there any way I can retrieve the data from the archive file? _______________________________________________ Scottish mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish
