Hi Niall, amanda-2.4.2p2 and 2.4.3b4 are compatible.
You must know that the file: driver is limited by the maximum file size of your filesystem. Could you look at the image of the moca:/ on your TIZdaily01 tape, Is t's size ? it empty? Is it complete? Could you read it (uncompress and untar)? I can't imagine how you can get the error [input: can't open:: No such file or directory]. Your other disks failed because moca:/ failed (dump to tape), you should use a larger holding disk.
