Hello,

I've recently installed Amanda 2.4.2p2.  I've been able to successfully backup client 
machines many times, but I have yet to successfully restore from tape.

I type the following when I try to restore:

mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
/usr/local/sbin/amrestore /dev/nst0 lopt

I get:

amrestore: 0: skipping start of tape: date 20011204 label Eatoni-01
amrestore: error reading file header: Input/output error

I'm running Amanda on a linux box, 2.4 kernel, which has a pair of Onstream ADR.50 
tape drives via scsi.  Amanda is setup to backup restore via dump/restore, not gnu 
tar.  I'm new to using Amanda, so I'm not sure what other information could be 
helpful.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben
