I don't think so. If this were the case, it would fail immediately whereas I see may files which are correctly restored. On the other hand the last dump was not done on my DAT, but on a file on another partition. And this one is broken too. There were no problems with my /usr partition, maybe because it is smaller. I will try to restore again and check where it begins to extract bad data.
