amrecover seems to access the indexs fine and the tape server. I type extract, load the tape and it acts as if it is recovering the file. there is activity on the tape device. The file is never restored. short clip below: amrecover> setdate 2003-05-14 200 Working date set to 2003-05-14. amrecover> ls 2003-05-14 . 2003-05-14 2000 PROJECTS.doc 2003-05-14 360 Review.doc 2003-05-14 Acerpt.doc 2003-05-14 December 25.doc 2003-05-14 Exchange/ 2003-05-14 Graham Backup Procedures.doc 2003-05-14 Kenneth W Lynch1.doc 2003-05-14 LISTDS.EXE 2003-05-14 PUTTY.RND 2003-05-14 REPAIR RETURN REQUEST FORM.doc 2003-05-14 Recycle.exe 2003-05-14 Support.doc 2003-05-14 WINDOWS/ 2003-05-14 comreads.dbg 2003-05-14 comused.dbg 2003-05-14 conspiracy.pl 2003-05-14 conspiracy_pl.txt 2003-05-14 drivers/ 2003-05-14 files/ 2003-05-14 index.html 2003-05-14 ken.txt 2003-05-14 libstdc.so.2.8.0 2003-05-14 lmhosts 2003-05-14 mailbox.pab 2003-05-14 outlook.pst 2003-05-14 perm.pl 2003-05-14 sdconf.rec 2003-05-14 server.cer 2003-05-14 test 2003-05-14 test.txt 2003-05-14 testuser/ 2003-05-14 winbindd_cache.bak 2003-05-14 wkeventlog_app_981023.txt 2003-05-14 wkeventlog_sys_981023.txt 2003-05-14 y2kcheck.doc amrecover> add test.txt Added /SERVER2/gkwl/test.txt amrecover> extract
