It should be the tape device name. Whether it is also your changer
device name depends on your hardware.

Using /dev/nst0 should have worked. I'm not sure I understood your
last sentence. Did "-d /dev/nst0" fail? What messages did you get?
In particular (if it failed), what was in /tmp/amanda/amidxtaped*debug?

You didn't post the important message that comes out right before this:
$CWD '/some/path' is on disk '/some/disk' mounted at /some/mount/point'.
Seeing that would help understand the problem.

But the files replace the originals, right?

What do you mean by "the restore failed"?
>Where must i go to use the right $CWD mount point?
When I do restores, I create a directory at the top of the file system
that was backed up, e.g. "/drives/drive2/.bkrest", then "cd" to there
and start amrecover.
If you cd to /drives/drive2/Online-Marketing/customer/April and run
amrecover from there, files will be restored relative to that point.
For instance, restoring Online-Marketing/customer/April/JJ would come
back as:
/drives/drive2/Online-Marketing/customer/April/Online-Marketing/customer/April/JJ
which is probably not what you want (although you could rename it,
of course). That's why I create the temp area at the top of the mount
point so there is only one extra directory layer involved.
