I recently tested a backup tape from our site of a RedHat Linux 7.2 system.
The backup was a forced full backup of the entire system. The report that I
received on it is as follows:
---------------------
These dumps were to tape full12.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: full13.

------------------------
When I tried the restore, I did "amrestore /dev/nst0
snoopy.mcs.drexel.edu". However, instead of 7 tar files as I was expecting,
I only received 1 tar file that was greater than the size of the backup:
-----------------------------
[root@snoopy]# lf -h
total 23G
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 May 10 10:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 104 Nov 2 2001 ..

snoopy.mcs.drexel.edu._export_home__local.20020427.0
/export/home_local
[root@snoopy]#
------------------------------
So far this has happened on 2 consecutive tapes that I've checked, does
anyone have any suggestions??
