What are the contents of amidxtaped.timestamp.debug?
That'd probably be most enlightening.

As a guess, I'd say that the tape `Biology-1' wasn't
loaded when amidxtaped went to try and read from it.  Did you
see (hear?) the robot load the tape at the after you answered
yes, and before the above error message occurred.

- That error disappears if I comment out the 'tapedev 0 'in my amanda.conf 
- file

The error disappears, but are you able to restore the
file?

 That'd probably be most enlightening.

There are several debug and diagnostics files at /tmp/amanda. They follow 
that convention.  Do you told to amanda to backup the /tmp directory (or / 
filesystem) ? Or maybe your /tmp is full, preveting the creation of the 
file...

Re: amdump/amrecover problem

2004-07-08 Thread cngo
Hi,

I'm sure the tape was loaded because I checked it by running amtape and the 
files are restored when I comment out the tapedev 0. Please have a look at 
the amidxtaped* file attached. It seems that parameter for the tape device argv
[7]=0 is not what amrecover wants.
Thank you very much,

Co
