restoring backup using tar command

Please help me in resolving the issue.



I have taken backup using the below command

$ tar cvf - . |compress -> /opt/globusback2/needed_backups/apglsg.tar.Z

I tried to restore the backup using the below command.

$ zcat /opt/globusback2/needed_backups/apglsg.tar.Z | tar -xvf –





But it throws an error as



“tar: 0511-169 A directory checksum error on media; 17 not equal to 26686.”



Can some one help me out to resolve the issue as soon as possible?



Regards

Vijay
