Is there a second drive (drive1) open here? The amrecover transcript you pasted seems to only need vtape-2, so I'm not sure where vtape-1 is involved. Perhaps in a previous recovery? It's amidxtaped which is manipulating the tapes, so you'll want to look in its debug log to see what's really going on. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
