Hello, Please let the gods of Amrecover hear my request! Here is the list of events that I do to get to the certain point of error. $ amrecover config AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on localhost ... 220 yohko AMANDA index server (2.4.2p2) ready. 200 Access OK Setting restore date to today (2002-05-17) 200 Working date set to 2002-05-17. 200 Config set to exa. 200 Dump host set to yohko.

Now I am going to attempt to 'add' a file. amrecover> add file Added /vmlinuz.old amrecover> extract Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst0 on host localhost. The following tapes are needed: EXA22 (yes the tape is loaded!) Restoring files into directory /root Continue? [Y/n]:Y Load tape EXA22 now Continue? [Y/n]:Y amrecover: error reading tape: Connection reset by peer extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 Continue? [Y/n]:Y (NEW: I fixed this problem by adding in the /etc/hosts.allow the entry amidxtaped: ALL) This got rid of the error reading tape message.
Stupid Debian does it to me again! It work.. as long as I made sure that the tape was rewinded I am in good shape. Tanniel
