It looks like amverify is not rewinding the tape. I ran across the same thing
this morning using amrecover to verify that I could restore files. If you use
'mt -f /dev/tape rewind' before amverify, perhaps it will work. I'm using
amanda-2.4.2p2.

Subject: [HELP] amverify fails restoring
Sorry for the [HELP] prefix, but I can't determine now
what is really going wrong. I've setup Amanda for daily
backups. The backup process seems to go fine, but
amverify fails restoring as the message below says:
Tapes: PROSADAILY04

Can anyone help me? I've searched through Google and yahoo-groups
but nobody seems to had my same problem!
It's strange because I don't get any other error between the amrestore
and tar output...
HTH,
Fabio
