Gregor,

Thanks for responding. I also responded back to Gene Heskett with his suggestion and a little more information.

I would like to try this idea. How can I determine NNNN from the amanda log files ? Once I output the data from the tape to the drive, how do I conver it back to a .tar file ? The amdump/amrestore is using gnutar.

Thanks...

try to read the tape (or chunk - fsf) with dd
dd if=/dev/nst0 of=/XXXX bs=1024 count=NNNN
where NNN is greater than your backup job/disk entry
and see what happens

i restored some valueable tape (MTF formated) reading this way and putting the pieces together.

regards,
gregor
