Hi Jon, Thanks for the reply. I'm quite sure it was gzip compressed, the amanda config files specifies "compress client fast" for this volume. Still no love, though. Here's what I got: freebee# amrestore -p /dev/nsa0 freebee aacd0s1f | gzip -d | restore -ivf - Verify tape and initialize maps amrestore: missing file header block amrestore: 2: skipping freebee.aacd0s1e.20060721.0 amrestore: 10: reached end of information gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file End-of-tape encountered Tape is not a dump tape freebee# Any other/more ideas? --Sean Noonan
