I'm running amanda-2.4.4p2. I've added the parameters in my amanda.conf but nothing happens exept the 'amrestore /dev/nst0 ^iulian$ ^/$ 20040317' does not work anymore. [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# amrestore /dev/nst0 ^iulian$ ^/$ 20040317 amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset amrestore: 0: reached end of information > Probably after you (accidently?) rewound the tape. I did not. It ran without doing anything, but now, as you can see, it's not running anymore :) I've linked /dev/tape to /dev/nst0 and: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mt status SCSI 2 tape drive: File number=1, block number=0, partition=0. Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x40 (DLT1 40 GB, or Ultrium). Soft error count since last status=0 General status bits on (81010000): EOF ONLINE IM_REP_EN [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mt fsf [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# So nothing happens. I should I manualy rewind a tape? I guess not by using my finger. And one more thing. Subject: DailySet1 AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR BogusMonth 0, 0 *** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY!
