To understand this, understand how amanda puts images on tape. Amanda puts several "files" on each tape: File no Conents 1 tape header 2 first dump image, with 32k header 3 second dump image, with 32k header So, to get the first dump image: mt rewind mt fsf 1 (skip over 1 tape file) dd if=/dev/tape of=image1 bs=32k skip=1 To get the second image: mt rewind mt fsf 2 dd if=/dev/tape of=image2 bs=32k skip=1 To get all images mt rewind mt fsf 1 dd if=/dev/tape of=image1 bs=32k skip=1 dd if=/dev/tape of=image2 bs=32k skip=1 . . until the last image. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
