What is this??? Is that the name of your tape device??? When you are using the "FILE" driver, the name is: myhost.mynetwork.com:file:/var2/amandadumps/tape02 (where "tape02" is the parent of the "data" subdirectory) [...]
Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? Y EOF, check amidxtaped.<timestamp>.debug file on myhost.mynetwork.com amrecover: short block 0 bytes UNKNOWN file amrecover: Can't read file header
Indeed, that's exactly what is to be expected. [...]

THis time, you tried something else! This file is not from the same run as the script above. But it is wrong just as well.
The backup file is definitely in /var2/amandadumps/tape02 directory. I don't understand why amrestore says no such file or directory?
If /var2/amandadumps/tape02 has a subdirectory named "data" which contains the backup file, then the syntax is: settape myhost.mynetwork.com:file:/var2/amandadumps/tape02 The word "file" in the middle is not a placeholder, but is needed litterally. If you are using the chg-disk changer, then it is best to add these lines to amanda.conf: amrecover_changer "changer" amrecover_do_fsf true amrecover_check_label true and then you can just do from within amrecover: settape changer See: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/File_driver -- Paul Bijnens, Xplanation Tel +32 16 397.511 Technologielaan 21 bus 2, B-3001 Leuven, BELGIUM Fax +32 16 397.512 http://www.xplanation.com/ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********************************************************************** * I think I've got the hang of it now: exit, ^D, ^C, ^\, ^Z, ^Q, ^^, * * F6, quit, ZZ, :q, :q!, M-Z, ^X^C, logoff, logout, close, bye, /bye, * * stop, end, F3, ~., ^]c, +++ ATH, disconnect, halt, abort, hangup, * * PF4, F20, ^X^X, :D::D, KJOB, F14-f-e, F8-e, kill -1 $$, shutdown, * * init 0, kill -9 1, Alt-F4, Ctrl-Alt-Del, AltGr-NumLock, Stop-A, ... * * ...
