description: Nevermind, we found an obvious solution: don't use --compress with vzdump, because the resulting dumpfiles are not always restorable.

description: I would check for updates to the tar program, memory issues, hdd issues if i were you. CRC errors mean that the contents of the archive have been in some way corrupted. This has nothing to do with the --compress flag of vzdump. I used the tool heavily and i was able to backup and restore VEs on a daily basis without any problems.
