Hmmm, i don't know of a tool doing this with amanda-tapes, but if you used tar to do the backups you could use amrestore to get back the image of the partition /dir inquestion and then give tar the "-k " option. It tells tar to keep existing files and only to restore files from the archiv which are not present on disk....... This way you let tar do the work of comparing the files and the tape. Christoph
