When I ran 2.4.3b4, I was able to read from the tapes via amadmin, mt, and dd piped to gtar. Amrestore was not able to read the tapes, it kept complaining about "error reading file header".
So, I thought moving up to the current stable 2.4.3 version would fix the amrestore problems. It didn't. And this time, the manual process of using the unix cmd line tools didn't even get me the content *supposedly* on the tapes as reported by amadmin. The last version I used which worked well was 2.4.3b3. So I put that version back in and now it doesn't get the estimates from it's own local disks but it can get the estimates from all the other remote clients. log.1 has lines for each of the failed filesystems: FAIL planner hostname /disk/blah/restore 20030218 0 [missing result for /disk/blah/restore in hostname response] I could put the other dozen filesystems listed in the logs here..kinda redundant tho. I am running out of ideas... thanks robin On Tue, 18 Feb 2003, Joshua Baker-LePain wrote: > On Tue, 18 Feb 2003 at 2:25pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote > > > I still haven't been able to determine why amanda reports success after > > amdumps while amrecover still cannot read the file headers on the tapes. > > Can you read them manually?
