Hi, When trying to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] recover]# amrestore /dev/nst0 baal /data/data0/conf amrestore: missing file header block amrestore: 2: skipping pbx2._etc.20060503.1 amrestore: missing file header block amrestore: 5: skipping pbx1._etc.20060503.1 amrestore: missing file header block amrestore: 8: skipping baal._var_spool_mail_h.20060503.1 amrestore: missing file header block amrestore: 10: reached end of information It's not happening only on one tape, I've tried 4 tapes and all of them had the same simptoms. Though, I've managed to restore the data by using only: amrestore /dev/nst0 but I still have the impression that it skiped some DLE's (it didn't start from 1, it started from 2) I'm using amanda 2.5.0 having a holdingdisk defined and spanning the DLE's *some* DLE's over mutiple tapes (I have two policies defined) define dumptype office { root-tar comment "the office policy" index compress server best } define dumptype office-split-rest { root-tar comment "the office policy" index compress server best priority high fallback_splitsize 100 Mb tape_splitsize 4 Gb } Thanks for your help, Iulian Topliceanu
