Hi, I'm currently having problems restoring files from my amanda backup system. I am able to narrow the problem down to my AIT-2 tape drive. If I restore files from amanda backups that are still on the holding disk, I have a successful restore. If I restore files from any of the AIT-2 tapes, I get tar errors.
So I have a few questions: 1) When amanda uses tar to backup the data, what is the blocking size that amanda uses? 2) If anyone here is using an sdx-500 AIT-2 tape drive, what are your dip switches set to? (I'm wondering if I need to enable variable block sizing on the drive). 3) Has anyone else using an AIT tape drive had similar problems? Thanks -Rob
