Hi folks A few weeks ago I reported in the forum a problem with amrecover and compressed dump files. Meanwhile I changed to uncompressed backup, still no luck and, unfortunately not much replies either. So please bear with me when I repeat this here.
subversion:/backup/amanda# amrecover AMRECOVER Version 3.1.2. Contacting server on amanda.ruf.ch ... 220 amanda AMANDA index server (3.1.2) ready. Setting restore date to today (2010-09-20) 200 Working date set to 2010-09-20. 200 Config set to DailySet1. 501 Host subversion is not in your disklist.

The following tapes are needed: amanda-0002 Extracting files using tape drive changer on host amanda.ruf.ch. Load tape amanda-0002 now Continue [?/Y/n/s/d]? Restoring files into directory /backup/amanda All existing files in /backup/amanda can be deleted Continue [?/Y/n]? Checksum error 0, inode 0 file (null) restore: Tape is not a dump tape The tape part is definitely a dump tape, but amrecover just does not recognize it as such. On the server I extracted the relevant file with dd, cut off the first 32k bytes and fed it to restore, which succeeded to restore the directories. There is a bug in amrecover somewhere and it gives me grief. I moved to tar based backups and got similar issues, the backup in this case is recognized by the server but a specific file is not found. Could someone direct me to a sensible debug procedure. Thanks Erich Titl
