hello there,
I'm backing up (full incremental) my windows PCs
using Amanda Samba's "smbclient".
Smbclient unset the archive bit on all the backed up
files onto the PC hardisk, so as to make incremental
backups possible.
Does someone have heard about any conflicts with
some

Hi all
I have an unusual problem with an HP-UX 11.00 client running Amanda

returns the following:

Needed to restore some files only to find that somehow the files are
corrupt. For example a 46MB file restores as a 36MB file.
Are you saying the dump image restored from tape, e.g. with amrestore,
