First, let me start by saying I don't have much Admin. experience with
Linux. I offered to help a friend get Amanda running on his Linux box
(RedHat 7.2), since I installed it on my Solaris 8 servers without any
problems.

I installed version 2.4.4 and got it configured as a server without any
problems. I'm able to do an "amdump", but I keep getting the following
errors when I try to do an "amrecover"

Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? y
tar: ./home/cwilson/inetd.conf: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 2
Continue [?/Y/n/r]? 

I've gone through my debug logs and I was able to find the following
errors in the amidxtaped debug file.

amrestore:   0: skipping start of tape: date 20030709 label VOL02
amrestore:   1: restoring plate.tech.net._.20030709.0

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

amidxtaped: time 24.756: pid 10098 finish time Thu Jul 10 11:53:04 2003

EXTRA INFO:

Tape drive is a Seagate STT8000A
define tapetype STT8000A {
    comment "STT8000A Tape Device"
    length 4000 mbytes     # 4/8 Gig tapes
    filemark 22 kbytes       # I don't know what this means
    speed 551 kbytes 
}

In my disklist I'm calling this dump type:
define dumptype Scomp-nohold {
    comment "partitions on amanda server straight to tape"
    program "GNUTAR"
    index yes
    compress client best
    exclude list ".amanda.excludes"
    holdingdisk no
    priority high
}


Here's some version info:
gzip 1.3
gtar 1.13.25

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
