In reference to this thread, in which it has been determined that writing
to/from my tape drive is producing some loss of integrity, (mis-translation
of random bytes, occurs both with tar, and dump, and using amanda) does

Okay I've narrowed down the problem.
Orginally I was having problems restoring data (checksum errors; missing
files). I was using "dump", so I switched to gnutar.
Gnutar worked better, in that I was able to restore files. But when I went
and did a diff or a cmp, many of the restored files do

tapedev contains the file: line, not changerdev, at least according to
amanda(8).

Hi
I'm still trying to get the file: driver stuff working, but I
think the docs aren't telling me everything I need to know...
I'm not exactly clear on how this is supposed to be set up.
I have a directory /tapes/, inside of which resides the
directories tapes01 to tapes20
My amanda.conf file
U... are you sure that it didn't send you the email? Try this: log on to
your backup server, then su to the amanda user (you may need to be root to do
this). Then type 'mail'. The report should be there.
If it is, then you need to set up a .forward file, or create an alias in
/etc/aliases.

You need to specify the log file, e.g.
'amreport Daily -l /usr/local/adm/amanda/DailySet1/log.20020507.0 -f amreport.ou

Yes, all the files are listed, both using "restore -tf" and amrecover.
Another thing I discovered is that the backup is not entirely good, on the
server as well as the client. I can restore some files, but not others, even
though these others may be listed in the index.
I'm getting checksum erro
I have an rsync running to an alternate server so the index files are
replicated to once the backup is completed. So I always have a fall
back server.

Do you by chance have a /tmp/amanda/sendsize*debug file from the client?
Looking where the failure comes from it may be when planner sends the
sendsize request and the result was not what it was expecting to see. This
may be one option to look at.

Yes, the Amanda user has permissions to read the raw devices (remember, the

Strangely, the dump sizes (and the size of the dump images) are consistent
with the df output ... which would seem to indicate the data is there ... so

Hi,
one last resort would be using a big magnet on the tape and
after that relabeling it. But be aware this erases every single
bit ever written to the tape.
one other thing i would try before is to look at the drive itself
and check if there is a hardware switch to turn off compression.

Hi,
I'm not in a disaster situation, fortunatelly, but I would like to test
how to proceed, just in case.
I run amanda-2.4.2p1-2. Supose an intruder break somehow the system and
perform a "rm -rf /". From this point, after a fresh reinstall of the
system, how I can restore from tape, if no back
