Hello everyone,

When I do a local restore on a backup server with amrecover, I get
prompted to change tapes when it is required:

Extracting files using tape drive /dev/null on host linuxbackup1.
Load tape DailySet102 now
Continue [?/Y/n/t]?"

I can then press "t" and set the tape correctly.


However, when I do a remote restore with amrecover, I get a different
prompt:

Load tape DailySet113 now
Continue? [Y/n]: 

This is fine for a restore that requires a single tape, since I can
use settape and the extract a second time.  However, restores
requiring multiple tapes will always fails, since I can't change tapes
in the middle of the restore.

I've verified that the remote server is correctly configured in
.amandahosts for access.


The only difference I can see between the two installation is that the
backup server runs 2.4.5, while the remote server runs 2.4.2p2.  Was
this feature added in between these versions?
