what does 'file' think the file is - i.e. what does
file u1_l0_04-29-09_md1.dump
u1_l0_04-29-09_md1.dump: data
Which I did think was odd. I had also tried
bzcat u1_l0_04-29-09_md1.dump bzcat: u1_l0_04-29-09_md1.dump is not a bzip2 file.
but I didn't remember if dump might have it's own headers before the compressed data.
The dump is compressed. What was the command line you used to create the dump file?
Have you tried using
restore tzvf u1_l0_04-29-09_md1.dump
Problem solved. Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions. Turns out that I had encrypted the backup with a GPG key, but didn't put that info into the filename. Backup reads just fine when I pipe it through gpg and then to restore.
