Sorry to say ... I still see this issue on 2 servers. My own amanda server runs (current official stable) 3.3.5 ... I tested (hostname: hiro, config: daily, DLE: pigz) -> When I amrestore the very same DLE from the holdingdisk (before having flushed it) it works: # amrestore --config daily --holding /mnt/amhold/daily/20140218165332/hiro.oops.intern.pigz.1 hiro pigz I get the file: $ file hiro.oops.intern.pigz.20140218165332.1.001 hiro.oops.intern.pigz.20140218165332.1.001: POSIX tar archive (GNU) and it is possible to untar it correctly. I flushed this to tape: $ amflush -b daily hiro pigz and tried to restore it: $ amrestore --config daily /dev/nst0 hiro pigz Restoring from tape daily04 starting with file 1. amrestore: 1: restoring split dumpfile: date 20140218165332 host hiro.oops.intern disk pigz part 1/UNKNOWN lev 1 comp cust program /bin/tar client_custom_compress /usr/bin/pigz ERROR: /usr/bin/pigz exited with status 2 What about this error? The fun part is that I get hiro.oops.intern.pigz.20140218165332.1.001 again! So it might be some small cosmetic issue? Maybe you use another version of pigz, JL? I have pigz 2.3.1 here (gentoo linux). Maybe some other amanda user feels helpful and wants to test something similar on his boxes? Thanks, Stefan

Re: Understanding disklist format
Thanks, it worked, multiple includes are possible with the append. I
have not tried systematically without append, although I BELIEVE that
in that case only the last "include" entry is taken into account and
the others silently ignored.
Regards, Charles
p.s. I noticed some strange error messages, but will send another post
on that.
