Hi,
can someone give me some advice on the following issue using amrecover.
When I'm trying to restore files using amrecover I get an error back from
amidxtaped, complaining about permissions on /dev/nst0.
Though I can manually use amrestore using the supplied command line
arguments from amrestore to amrecover (see included log file)
Any advice on this?
Thanks,
Lieven
