Had to do the first real amrecover today and it was

to recover was about 140K. It took from 14:47 to

Hi,
I had amanda running in the same configuration as now, for over 4 months
without any major problem.
After migrating the filesystem from XFS to EXT3 everything is a mess.
The biggest problem I have is with this volume.

Hi Toralf,
I'v had nearly the same problem this week.

Different possibilities.
First make sure the network is not in the way (e.g. a duplex
mismatch on one of the switches, frequent mistake).
I'm backing up the server with the tape drive in it.
Then, do you have amrecover_do_fsf yes in the configuration?
If not, then amanda

Next, how large is the image itself. If the dump file is 30 Gbyte
then it still takes some time to crawl through that amount to locate
your 140K file. A tape device is a sequential device. Indexing
with amanda does not turn it into a random access device.

Common misconcepton. Amanda actually only schedules and manages
the backup, but the backup itself is done by another program,
dump or gnutar or smbclient currently. You run into limitations
of the dump/restore programs (supplied by the OS).

Do you mean a normal amrestored'ed file, or a raw recovery?
Actually, I have examples of both:

I've got a tape with amanda backup with GNUTAR option set.
I heve restored one disk file with command:

dd if=amanda.__foo_backup.20040904.0 bs=32k count=1

Sometimes a dump fails and driver retries:

Jean-Louis supplied me with a patch which I modified slightly and that I'm

It turns out that some code in server-src/driver.c will allow a dump
