In the past, I have noticed several cases where Bacula does not work correctly with zlib if you do not build Bacula with the version that is loaded on your system. I guess they change some of the internal structures defined in the header files in an incompatible way.

I suggest trying recompiling Bacula from scratch. Most likely it will clear up your zlib problems.

That didn't resolve the problem, I still have errors when restoring, even with a new
created backup file... The problem must be due to something else.

However, you also seem to have a tape read problem (checksum mismatch). This may be due to bad media or just a dirty read head on your tape drive. Try cleaning.

I'm not backing up on tapes but on files, that's why those errors looks strange to me. I currently have no problem with my hard disks. I tried with a bzip2 tarred archive as big as one of my backup (about 1 Go) that I created on the same partition where my backups
are saved, and there is no error when testing it.
What can these errors be due to when using files for storage ?

Hi,

Since today, I noticed that severals (perhaps all ?) my volumes produces
errors when restoring all the files.
I'm backing up on disk, and with bextract, the error messages looks like :
----------
22-Jul 16:22 bextract: bextract Error: block.c:304 Volume data error \

22-Jul 16:22 bextract: bextract Error: create_file.c:175 bpkt already \

22-Jul 16:11 bextract: bextract Error: block.c:304 Volume data error \

22-Jul 16:11 bextract: ERROR in bextract.c:398 Uncompression error. ERR=1
-----------
...

So here are my questions :
- is there a tool to test all my volumes ? (I still can do with
something like
"bextract VolumeName /dev/null | grep Error" but perhaps there are
already something cleaner to test volumes !?)
- as errors mentionned "Uncompression error", is the error could have
been introduced when I upgraded my zlib (last tuesday) ?
I'm running Bacula 1.36.3 from RPM on FC3.
Can the zlib's upgrade have broken something with bacula ?

The problem occurs on volumes created after AND before the zlib upgrade...

Thanks for any help !

Yann Cezard.
