Backup giving CRC error

[S2S-Robert]

I created a backup on the old server and transferred it to the new server. There I tried to restore the backup but DA is giving me :

Details

File is not of type tar.gz: gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

I tried both transferring using wget from the new server, I used ftp from the old server and I downloaded it myself and uploaded it myself. Nothing seems to work, it keeps giving me the CRC error...

Any thoughts?

Hello,

I've replied to your email on this. Looks like the gzip is corrupted. Create the backup again, and re-transfer it. Double check the filesizes when you've got it transferred. It probably got corrupted while the file was being created.

Ugh. Same thing just happened to me. The backup is 758MB

Hello,

Try extracting is before uploading or moving it to determine if the file was corrupted during the upload, or before hand during the backup.

tar xvzf file.tar.gz
