Hi all,

I'm experiencing a strange problem: trying to do a multifile
backup-restore cycle, I get an error message during the restore
phase.

I'm doing the backup with this command:

gbak -b -g -v pathDB1 pathGBK1 1800M pathGBK2

while the restore command is:

gbak -r -v -p 8192 -y pathlog pathGBK1 pathGBK2 pathDB1 \
245000 pathDB2 245000 pathDB3

The original "pathDB1" database is spreaded in three files, the first
is filled at 2Gb, the second is actually 1Gb and the third is empty.

The resulting "pathGBK1" backup is sliced in two parts, 1.7Gb the
first and about 300Mb the second.

Here is the restore log:

gbak: opened file /disk1/dati1/winsipexib/bck/wsx_bck_fo_master.gbk
gbak: opened file /disk1/dati1/winsipexib/bck/wsx_bck_fo_master2.gbk
gbak: transportable backup -- data in XDR format
gbak: backup file is compressed

gbak: ... [omissis] ...
gbak: 150000 records restored
gbak: 160000 records restored
gbak: ERROR: string truncated
gbak: Exiting before completion due to errors

The original table VARIANTIRIGA contains more than 2 millions records,
and is coded as

CREATE TABLE VARIANTIRIGA (
CODVARIANTE INTEGER,
FILLER VARCHAR(10) CHARACTER SET NONE,
IDVARIANTERIGA INTEGER NOT NULL,
IDRIGAORDINE INTEGER NOT NULL,
VALORE VARCHAR(30) CHARACTER SET NONE
);

Digging in the original DB did not reveal nothing special in that
table, so I'm really short of idea on what may be going on here...

Any hint?

thanks in advance,
bye, lele.
