[flexbackup-help] Extract problem

[Darrick H. <dha...@dj...>]

Reading the FAQ AFTER the fact looks like I may have a serious problem.

I backed up a directory using flexbackup with tar and bzip2 compression. 
  I'm using flexbackup 1.2.1 with mbuffer.

During the backup, flexbackup prompted me for a second tape.  I put in 
the second tape and pressed enter (as prompted) to continue.

Now I am unable to extract the data from the second tape.  I'm not 
concerned about the file at the transition point, but I need the 
remaining data after that point.

Below is a list of the commands I used, and the results.

I appreciate any help.  Going forward, it looks like one tape is the 
best way to go.

Thanks,

Darrick

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
         perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Invalid argument
         Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.
