Why do you think it looks unlikely? The backups done by Amanda are in dump or tar format, and I don't see why you couldn't read the tapes with restore or tar, respectively. The only thing you lose in tape server crash are the index files. But that just means you can't use amrecover and must use amrestore. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * If you cannot change your mind, are you sure you have one?
