Hello, amanda users, maybe some of you can help me. I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.2
and amanda 2.4.1. I am using four tapes VOL02, VOL03, VOL04 and VOL05. Now I
will explain my problems.
1. I do one backup weekly on sundays. After using VOL04 the next amanda run
should go to VOL01. On Monday I went to check how amanda ran but it said
that the tape I had put on the tape drive was not an amanda tape, and of
course was VOL01. I created VOL05 and removed VOL01 from data base. Some
clue on this?
2. Last dump was to VOL02, now I want to recover a file that is there. I use
amrecover and add the file to the extracting list. Everething is fine so far
. Then I type extract at the amrecover> prompt and get this:
amrecover> extract
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nrst0 on host mail.netsys.hn.
The following tapes are needed: VOL02
Restoring files into directory /usr/home/quintana
Continue? [Y/n]: y
Load tape VOL02 now
Continue? [Y/n]: y
EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file.
amrecover: short block 0 bytes
UNKNOWN file
amrecover: Can't read file header

Ready to execv amrestore with:

Some clue on this?
3. Last question. How can I recover a file that is on an older tape. For
example I want the file /var/mail/ayalaser that was saved one week ago.
amreceover will always ask for the last tape right?
Thanks for your help.
