I *think* I recall:
I amvaulted my files twice — from tapedrive 1 to a hard disk, move hard disk to
another machine
which has tapedrive 2. Vault again to put them on the 2nd tape drive.
To access the vaulted files on the hard disk, I had to look for the date on
which I had amvaulted.
Try repeating this command:
$ /opt/amanda/sbin/amfetchdump -d vtape be-full svr '^/$’ 20000119
using the data of the vault, 20201004
