Hi all! I found an old thread about the same problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg10945.html
between Kern Sibbald and Timo Eissler That thread finished with that sentece of Kern: It looks like the BackupRead header information is not being correctly parsed. You are not by any chance restoring to a 64 bit machine or a bigendian machine (e.g. Sparc or Irix) are you? Did you solve the problem?
