Are you setting a 'recovery date' while in amrecover or just taking
the default which is the most recent. If you are trying to recover
files that were lost from the file system, it is possible that the
last backups you have have on tape reflect the deletion. amrecover
tries to restore the directory you into which you recovering as it
was at the time of the recover date. So it may be putting those
files into the directory from the first loaded tape, but as the
tapes from more recent backups are processed has to delete them
since they had been deleted from the real directory between the
two backups.
That is one of the reasons PB recommended in his response that
you recover into an empty temporary directory. Tar may actually
delete or overwrite some new things added to the file system if
you try to recover into the original source directory.
