Hi Gregor,
You can set your tape drive to 'file:/data/Daily/backup/Daily03' in amrecover.
amrecover will not be able to use your changer if you use chg-multi, this
bug was fixed a few days after 2.4.4 was release. You can a try a snapshot

Im trying to recover some file from file based backup.
Im using the changer for rotating backup folders.
The problem is that amrecover wants to rewind the tape, but it tries to
rewind the
file:/data/Daily
instead of
file:/data/Daily/backup/Daily03
which is the real "file" backup tape.
If I rewind

Thats something that amanda cannot do, is span a single dump across
more than one tape.
The normal fix is to use tar, and break the disklist entries up into
subdirs that are small enough to fit.
