Is there a diagnostic/repair tool I can use? I know about restore -N. Dump was taken on 4.10. Restoring on 5.3BETA, although I can change that. Content is our Samba server home directories. I need to extract the data so that I can copy it to our new 2k3 server. File is big (50Gb). A full listing looks okay but the extract fails, apparently while skipping. supplementary question: How do I compile restore for debugging. I cannot find 'the magic'.
