Hi, I am having some wierd problems using amanda2.4.3b4. Amanda reports that the backups are done successfully. However, when I attempt to use amrecover/amrestore/amverify I get:
error reading file header: input/output error If I do the restores manually with the help of amadmin to determine which filemarker to goto, I see that the backups are indeed on the tapes, e.g. with the following sequence: % amadmin config info host drive # I get some output and take note of the file marker. # pop in the tape and... % mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind; mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf filemarker % dd if=/dev/nst0 skip=1 bs=32k | tar tvf - A slurry of data come flooding onto my screen. Has anyone observed such behavior and know how to correct it? thanks robin
