When I run amrestore like this
amrestore -f 0 -p /dev/nst0 localhost sda2 | restore -ivb2 -f -

I got message:

Verify tape and initialize maps
Input is from a local file/pipe
amrestore:   0: skipping start of tape: date 20060223 label EPIP2
amrestore:   1: restoring localhost.sda2.20060223.0
restore: Tape is not a dump tape
Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 1024+1024, wrote 0
amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file.

Of course I CAN RESTORE it on production server where it was backed up ! ?

wait, amrestore does not go across the network to the server to retrieve
image. (Amrecover will.)

"Amrestore extracts backup images from the tape mounted on tapedevice or from the holding disk file"
