The tar wrapper script seems to work fine now, thank you. However, there is some strange Amanda 2.4.3b4 behaviour in amrecover: If you try to restore with an Amanda compilation (e.g. on another system), which had another --with-gnutar= value to configure, it just fails with an error that e.g. restore of /usr/local/sbin/tar-wrapper and the following exec failed. To me it seems that the GNUTAR backup type is not recognized, so amrecover assumes UNKNOWN and tries a string comparison to find the correct restore program instead of using the compiled path. -- Amon Ott LISA systems
