Hi I tried the exact amrestore command and got this: amrestore -p -h /dev/nst0 ^zampo.edzen.net$ ^/usr/local/cvsroot$ 20050204 amrestore: 0: skipping start of tape: date 20050202 label zampo102 amrestore: 1: skipping zampo.edzen.net._home_soredz_.mutt.20050202.0 amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error How to restore with dd? mt is used to rewind the tape, right? Any ideas? I'm getting desperate. First I had trouble getting amanda to perform the backups. Then when I finally made it I cant restore anything.
