Error trying to restore with : tar received an invalid archive
Hi,
I am trying to do a restore on netbackup 7.1 with tapes used on our old master server (6.5) and everytime I receive a message that tar received an invalid archive.

All backups done on the new master server 7.1 works fine, restore works fine. But we dont have the version 6.5 anymore, and there are some backups made in the beggining of this year that need to be restored... I have imported the tapes to the new library, even with the successfull import, still can´t get the restore to work.
Master server is running on Windows 2008 and the client is also Windows 2008. Master and Media server are the same server.
Can someone help me with this issue? Is there a compatibility problem with the version 6.5 with the 7.1?
Thank you in advance!
The keyfile must be obtained from the original client and copied/restored to the destination client.
