posted this question on the ZManda forums, but unfortunately have not
received a response. Perhaps someone on our forum has used Amanda and
knows what file format Amanda uses.<br>
<br>
I installed Amanda on a client and a server, configuring a backup using
the 15 minute tutorial, although I did not setup the encryption yet.
The backup appears to work, but I wanted to make sure the exclusions
were working and the files compressed. I cannot figure out what utility
is used to display the contents of a backup. The backup disk area
contains a directory:<br>
<blockquote>/Backup/space/vtapes/DailySet1/slots/slot1</blockquote>
The amarchiver command does not seem to work.<br>

bash-4.1$ amarchiver --list --file 00003.ice.mydomain.com._var_lib_hudson.0
amar_read: Invalid archive header</pre>
</div>
The 00003.ice.mydomain.com._var_lib_hudson.0 file is backed up using a
dumptype with "user-tar" and "compress client fast". I have also tried
tar with and without compression, gunzip, bzip2, uncompress. None
recognize the format. What format are the backups using? How can I list
the contents? Thank you.<br>
