bakunin, agent.kgb, hicksd8

on the same machine where i made backup and when i tried to restore on the same machine i got this error

Code:

root@cloapp1:/pcloneapp>/opt/freeware/bin/tar xvzf pclo_cloapp1_18_6_16_oraapp.tgz
/opt/freeware/bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive
/opt/freeware/bin/tar: Skipping to next header
/opt/freeware/bin/tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

My guess, is that since the this DISK is coming from IBM SAN Storage and the cache battery is dead, and I enabled "Enable Write Caching without Batteries" is the reason for above data corruption ?
I am not sure but investigating further.

agent.kgb, thanks for the z option with gnu tar

agent.kgb,
how would you combine gnu tar -z or -Z (compression) backup and restore with tee command ?

as was done by Rudic over here
