I have no idea what the problem is, but my best guess is that you have something like the following: 1. A bad disk or track on a disk 2. A memory problem that caused a disk block to get corrupted 3. Some program that messed up a portion of a Bacula Volume. The way I would proceed is to write one or more new volumes, then restore the data in them and see if the problem reoccurs and if the files are properly restored. > > >On Friday 22 July 2005 17:12, Yann Cézard wrote: > >>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 \ > >> at 0:26772725!
