I have inherited a network of solaris machines backed up by amanda. I have no problem backing up the data but would like to perform a test recover for my sake.
When I use amrecover <config> When I try and get the file to restore I get amrecover> lcd /data01/temp amrecover> add sulog-2003-10-26-0000.gz Added /adm/sulog-2003-10-26-0000.gz amrecover> extract Extracting files using tape drive 0 on host csg905. The following tapes are needed: csg-monthly-07 Restoring files into directory /data01/temp Continue [?/Y/n]? y Extracting files using tape drive 0 on host csg905. Load tape csg-monthly-07 now Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? y EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file on csg905. amrecover: short block 0 bytes UNKNOWN file amrecover: Can't read file header extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 Continue [?/Y/n/r]?

The file that I am asking to recover does exist on the tape listings. There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.
