I've been trying to run amrestore with the following command and I've been getting lots of these errors: amrestore /dev/nst0 SERVER_NAME amrestore: strange amanda header: "AMANDA: FILE 20040810 SERVER_NAME /etc lev 1 comp"N program /bin/gtar" amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset after which amrestore stops and I run the the command again to get the error message for the next file on the tape. I occasionally get amrestore: 0: restoring SERVER_NAME._path_to_file.20040810.1 amrestore: 1: skipping OTHER_SERVER1._path_to_files.20040810.0 amrestore: 2: skipping OTHER_SERVER2._path_to_files.20040810.1 before getting one of the 'strange amanda header' errors, but it's kind of rare. Is this a sign of tapes going bad? Is there some config file that needs to be fixed? Is there a better way to get the data off the tapes? Thanks.
