Ah, the beauty of amanda. Use the no-rewind device and issue: mt -t <no-rewind device> fsf 1

For GNUTAR that might be: tar xvf /dev/rmt/0n [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > Help, please..... > I had been running amanda 2.4.2p2 on a SunSparc Ultra 2 backing up to > a DLT2000 drive. > HD in system has crashed, and now I can't access my backup tape. > Have installed amanda again, and think I have things config'd same as > before.
