RE: failed to change dir (error from selfcheck / amcheck)
I'm not 100% on it... Can that error be ignored and you can still amdump then?

Ah thanks. It's a rather large volume I'm looking at right now. So I need to be quite confident my setup will work. many LTO6 tapes. yes GNUTAR.

yes GNUTAR. I need to be sure I can also restore from non-Amanda
environment… can I still do that changing to amgtar?
yes, amgtar use the same gtar binary, but it have more features and is
more configurable than GNUTAR.
