That's not the proper syntax to amrestore. It needs to know the tape device, i.e. 'amrestore /dev/rmt/0bn'. It doesn't care about a config file. > any other methods of getting info from this tape. > (dd ufsrestore etc)(I've tried, but no sucess) Are you using the correct device? Were you using hardware compression before? Do you need the 'b' in there? Try this: mt rewind mt fsf 1 (the first file on the tape is just an AMANDA tape header) dd if=/dev/rmt/0bn of=image1.header bs=32k count=1 The file image1.header should then contain a string indicating the date, time, level, client, filesystem, etc of the backup. You can grab the rest of the image by doing: dd if=/dev/rmt/0bn of=image1 bs=32k Or, to just grab the image directly, do this in place of the first 'dd' command above: dd if=/dev/rmt/0bn of=image1 bs=32k skip=1 Then try ufsrestore on your image1 file. If you can't read the tapes from that device, try 0n, 0cn, or 0bcn. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
