Actually that's my problem. Amrestore will read the "index" on the tape, but when I try to actually do the restore the system locks up. After doing a whole bunch more research and experimination, I believe that this is not a problem w/ Amanda, but rather my hardware/system setup. Anyone have problems with system lockups when READING from tape? I'd appreciate any suggestions or things to try.
