Greetings, I have been depending on smbtar to do a network snapshot at night of some files that are often requested to be restored for various reasons, however I have a tar file created with smbtar that when I try to do a tar -tf thetarfile.tar I get the message tar: Skipping to next file header after only listing part of the files. The tar file appears to be about the correct size but I can not restore from it. Please advise about this.
