thanks! i checked that file and it was warning me about the tape being rewound (i thought i had checked that...), anyway, i made sure the tape was cool and everything and tried it again today. I get different errors now: amrecover> add animate Added /usr/bin/animate amrecover> extract Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst0 on host db1.tonservices.com.
