Do you have MD5, SHA256 etc... checksums of the .tar.gz files somewhere? Do they still match, or do they differ now? (If they match, you have a software problem with tar or gzip; try reading the files under Linux (Knoppix?) just to be sure. If they don't match, either the media is corrupt (very likely), or something's wrong on the code path that reads your backup device (a lot less likely)) -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
