Hi Denis,




I have another problems with my backup (as described recently Ihave 
transfered over nc from one machine to another 


about 3TB dar  file.  But I am not able to extract catalog or test it on 16
GB machine. After some time dar it is killed with memory overflow. The 
machine may not have swap intentionally. I am using dar 2.7.7RC1  . The dar 
-V says 


  Integer size used            : 64 bits.

(default compilation) . In FAQ you write that the compilation should be --
enable-mode=64.   Isn't it that 64 bit shown on dar -V?




Is is possible to extract the catalogue or test file in some serial mode (-
0) ? That would not cosume a lot of memory ?

If I will have more slices - would it help when transforming it in serial 
mode ?




I have seen there is now 2.7.7 available ... If I compile it somehow to 
spare memory, can I use it on the file created with 2.7.7 RC1 as above or do
I need it resent  again from the original server ?





Thanks a lot
