I gave an example below. The file "wins.dat" was not dumped. It is
indeed missing from the tape.

If this is not a data loss, what is it then?

[root@big ~] restore -b64 -rN
./spool/samba.lock/wins.dat: (inode 2829098) not found on tape
expected next file 267, got 4
expected next file 2828988, got 2828987
