Ok, I found the answer. Since my backup was compressed, i´ve got to use
the -z option. So the commands are:
mt rewind
mt fsf NN
dd if=/dev/nst0 bs=32k skip=1 | tar -tvz

That´s it.

Hi all,

How to list an amanda backup using TAR? I tried these commands, but they
didn´t show nothing:
[root@falcon root]# mt rewind
[root@falcon root]# mt fsf NN
[root@falcon root]# dd if=/dev/nst0 bs=32k skip=1 | tar -tv
dd: warning: working around lseek kernel bug for file (/dev/nst0)
  of mt_type=0x72 -- see <sys/mtio.h> for the list of types
0+0 records in
0+0 records out

Thank you,
Bruno Negrao
