I've attached a run using the unix tools. There were messages in the log which I've also attached.
Another symptom I've noticed is that when amanda uses multiple tapes. The first tape will not be accessible by the amanda tools but mt/dd can read the fileheaders and read the backups. But the tapes following the first are never readable by amanda nor mt/dd. robin On Wed, 19 Feb 2003, Joshua Baker-LePain wrote: > On Wed, 19 Feb 2003 at 12:54pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote > > > Sorry. reflex reaction from using pine too long.
