After the help I received yesterday I continued to try to get amrecover to work.
I set the host and disk correctly and specified the correct tape drive using the amrecover -d command. The problem I am now having is that when I type in the extract command the following message appears:- amrecover> extract Extracting files using tape drive /dev/st0 on host Neli. The following tapes are needed: BacypDydd21 Restoring files into directory /root Continue? [Y/n]: y Load tape BacypDydd21 now Continue? [Y/n]: y EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file on Neli. amrecover: short block 0 bytes UNKNOWN file amrecover: Can't read file header extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 Continue? [Y/n]: y amrecover> While this appears on the screen there is no activity from the tape drive at all so it does not check to see if the tape is there. Any help with this problem would be greatly welcomed.
