Hello there,

I've managed to get a tapeless backup running OK on 2.4.3 on RedHat 7.2 (and 
GNUTAR 1.13.19) but when I try an amrecover extract I get the following 
messages:

[QUOTE]
EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file on pc3690.asm.psi.ch.
amrecover: short block 0 bytes
UNKNOWN file
amrecover: Can't read file header
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1
[UNQUOTE]

The amidxtaped*debug tells me the following:

Any ideas what might be going wrong here?  I've tried doing a "rewind" of the 
"tape" directory but it seems to make no difference.

All advice/assistance appreciated.  Thanks.

Regards, Ralph.
