Hi,
Ok, so I have finally got Amanda to write a partition to tape.
Now I want to grab a file off of the tape.
I'm using Amanda-2.4.2p2 on FreeBSD.
After a successful amcheck and amdump, I run

NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Tape daily001 label ok
NOTE: info dir /usr/local/etc/amanda/daily/curinfo: does not exist
NOTE: it will be created on the next run
I would expect this to be a frequently asked question, but after looking

I had set
Before running amcleanup I checked the content of my
holding disk. It contained a subfolder with the date
of the normal run, but the folder was empty.
There's not enough information yet to know what's going on with your
setup. You need to get through a complete amdump without it aborting
