Hi everyone,
It makes sense that before recovering from a real tape, the tape has to
be rewound.
But for backup to disk (tapeless), the "tape" is just a file on hard
disk, why does amanda
require it to be rewound??
Recovery works, but rewinding the "tapes" gives unpleasant error
messages as follows:
DailySet4/data/00001.server._home.1 rewind failed: Inappropriate ioctl
for device
After that error message, the recovery goes on as normal. Without
rewinding "tape", it will
complain with EOF stuff.
Has anyone ever found out why??
how is your tapedev specified in your amanda.conf?
