The amidxtaped.20080224080312.debug file show a problem.
amidxtaped: 1: restoring split dumpfile: date 20080114 host
picard.gman.rox disk / part 2048/UNKNOWN lev 0 comp .gz program /bin/tar
amidxtaped: Chunk out of order, will save to disk and append to output.
It says it create a temporary files.
amrecover should list all PART to amidxtaped, but it doesn't list the
first 2047 part.
On which tape are the first 2047 part of that image? Have you already
overwritten that tape with new a image?
What's the output of: amadmin <config> find picard.gman.rox /
It should tell on which tape the first part are.

Jean-Louis,
Sorry for the late reply. I have been busy with some other things. I did
manage to set a different restore date and get some of the data back.
Apparently there was a problem with the full backup that I was trying to
retrieve from. I have included the relevant amidxtaped.*.debug files and the
amrecover.*.debug file as well from the recent attempt. Like I said, it was
partially successful.
Also, I had to recover some other files just now and it worked seemingly
different from what I had experienced before. It did not need to restore the
entire DLE to /tmp/amanda (which is what everyone was saying it should not
do). The amrestore session went fairly quickly and the files were restored.
This leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the full backup
of that dle for the date that I was trying to restore before.
Like I said, I have included the files in case you want to look at them. I
can understand if you don't since this appears to be a case of a bad backup
(from my humble guess).
Thanks again for all of your time and trouble.
Regards,
Gordon

I guess I am doing something wrong here. I would like to find out what it
is.
In /tmp/amanda, amrecover creates a file named
server.domain.name._.20080114.0.0002048. That file is 55G when I delete
it.
I have to delete it because at that point the disk is full. This is a
backup
of the / folder and it is compressed. The folder that is selected for
extraction is 4.3G.
Are you sure server.domain.name._.20080114.0.0002048 is not a file in
the backup and you asked to restore it?
I have used the lcd command to select the folder where it want the restore
to be put.
The client and the server are the same machine in this scenario.
The amrecover.*.debug file is 2.5M. I will send it to you if that will
help.
It will help.
The amrecover session all goes fine. I run it. Select the disk, date,
folder
that I want, etc. run the extract. Where can I get the complete output of
the session?
cut&paste of the screen, I need to know exactly want you did.
