The first thing when disaster strikes is take a cup of coffee. Then take a deep breath. Then proceed. Slowly.

"setmode tar" is to force a restore with tar instead of smbclient. No need to use "setmode tar" for a real gnutar backup. But fine, "forcing a restore with tar" works too for a real gnutar backup. > amrecover> extract > > Extracting files using tape drive file:/backup/config on host backup. > The following tapes are needed: DailySet104 > > Restoring files into directory /amanda > Continue [?/Y/n]? y > > Extracting files using tape drive file:/backup/config on host backup. > Load tape DailySet104 now > Continue [?/Y/n/t]? y > EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file on backup. What is in the amidxtaped.debug file. In 99% of these problems there is the simple message: "not at start of tape". If yes, you need to rewind the tape (or position the manually just before the image to be extracted). This is a requirement for any tape, even a virtual tape, e.g.: amtape file:/backup/config rewind Alternatively, you may add two options to amanda.conf, so that amanda does the rewind (and fast positioning) for you: amrecover_do_fsf yes amrecver_check_label yes > amrecover: short block 0 bytes > UNKNOWN file > amrecover: Can't read file header > extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 > Continue [?/Y/n]? y > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > I loaded DailySet104 also manually but it does not work too.

How did you "load the manually" when it's a virtual tape? Probably it just happened that virtual tape DailySet106 was rewound, but tape DailySet104 was not rewound. > > I tried this on 3 different Servers....same error every time.
