Re: Restore from file, not tape
I'm manually extracting the files now based on the clues you all gave me. I'll come back to what broke once I get the customer back up. Thank you all for your suggestions. As usual - you're very helpful. :) LP

Is it listed in the output of: amadmin find If it is not listed then something is wrong in the holding disk. What is the complete path of the holding disk? Do an 'ls -l' on the holding disk and a 'dd if= bs=32k count=1' Jean-Louis

However, since the dump isn't showing in my history I can't tell amanda to use it. If I choose one of the other dates I do see the correct file list. I'm going to go read on dd/tar, but if I had a way to use amrecover that's what I'd like to do. Thanks, LP

Restore from file, not tape
I was really hoping I could get the tape changer configured before this happened, but it bit me on the rear. Amanda 2.4.5 server. I've got a level 0 sitting on my disk. It's too large to fit on tape. I need to extract a directory from it. I know the entire path. It doesn't show up in my list on amrestore because it never got dumped to tape from the holding disk. This has probably been covered before and I just didn't search right - but does someone know the commands to pull the directory from the file? Thanks, LP
