Hi all, I searched the faq-o-matic and googled this, but there didnt seem to be any definitive answers.
My amdumps seem to be working fine, but when I try to do an amrecover and extract a single file, I get the errors below. As a side note, I have tried using amrestore, to dump the entire backup that contains the file I was extracting, and that works just fine...no problem.(I might mention that this is a rather large dump....if that makes any difference...I will try a single file recover from a smaller dump as a test). Any ideas from the vets? John When I run the amrecover proggy: ########################################## Added /vsmhii.dat amrecover> extract Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst0 on host localhost.
