If you use the same configuration for amrecover that you used for amdump and if the index and taper are the proper ones (-s and -t), amrecover will use the same tape-changer that amdump used and it will not prompt you for new tapes. At the begining of the recover, it will ask you to mount the first tape, but normally you only have to answer yes and it will be automatic. Best regards, Olivier For example, the DLE is spit on 11 tapes, but amrecover never ask for any tape beyond the first one: amrecover> extract Extracting files using tape drive chg-compat:chg-vdisk on host localhost. The following tapes are needed: CSIM-set-198 CSIM-set-199 CSIM-set-200 CSIM-set-202 CSIM-set-203 CSIM-set-204 CSIM-set-206 CSIM-set-207 CSIM-set-208 CSIM-set-246 CSIM-set-255 Extracting files using tape drive chg-compat:chg-vdisk on host localhost.
