can someone give me some advice on the following issue using amrecover.

Hi Amanda-Users,
I'm running FreeBSD 4.4 (Unix), and the problem that I'm running into is,
when restoring large partitions using the restore -if /dev/sa0 the restore
thinks there is another volume and keeps asking for it (like it's in a
loop). To get out of this I just control C it.
1. REBDA (Read Everything Before Doing Anything)
2. Be prepared to run the configure/install process a few times until you
get it the way you want.
3. Remember to do both the server setup and client setup on the server.
4. Start by just backing up the backup server.
5. Start by changing
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst0 on host daeserver.dae.be.

using xinetd, did you put groups = yes in the config file so the
Amanda user was put in all the groups
Hi John,
/dev/nst0 does have the permissions set as root:disk rw-rw
with amanda (=user running amidxtaped) member of group disk.
The groups = yes xinetd directive will do the trick, I think! I should
have double-checked the man-pages of xinetd!
