[..] sethost setdisk setdate add extract amrecover asks for the tape <label-of-requested-tape> ... In terminal2 you do amtape <conf> label <label-of-requested-tape> In terminal1 you continue ... This does the trick for me ... Is this what you needed? -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
