Hello,
I found this in the amanda.conf.in file. It's new to me. I have been
using my same amanda.conf file since 2.4.2p1, so go figure.
amrecover_do_fsf yes# amrecover will call amrestore with the
# -f flag for faster positioning of the tape.
amrecover_check_label yes
Good question. I would like to know as well. As for me, I pretty much
always pre-position to the file number with mt. I hadn't realized
amanda didn't do that.

Look for the config option in a recent amanda (2.4.4 or later)

"amadmin find" shows a record of the location on tape (record number)
where each dump record exists. Given this information, why does amrecover
start at the beginning of the tape during a restore and read each record
sequentially on the tape until it finds the correct record? I can
