Hi,

I get the following error while running amrestore after amdump and amflush
are  doing their jobs without any errors:

I'm running amrecover from the amanda-server machine to avoid possible
filters:

[root@amanda amanda]# amrecover -s 192.168.154.21 -t 192.168.154.21 -d

My debug file looks like:

So no error.

My amrecover debug file says to following:

The thing is, if I'm running:

[root@amanda amanda]# amrestore /dev/nst0 ^iulian$ ^/$ 20040317


The dumpfile is restored corectly on the amanda-server machine.

What should I look for?

Thanks for your support.
