I've been trying to run amrestore with the following command and I've   
been getting lots of these errors:   
   
amrestore  /dev/nst0 SERVER_NAME   
   
amrestore: strange amanda header: "AMANDA: FILE 20040810   
SERVER_NAME  /etc lev 1 comp"N program /bin/gtar"   
amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset   
   
after which amrestore stops and I run the the command again to get  
the   
error message for the next file on the tape. I occasionally get    
 amrestore:   0: restoring SERVER_NAME._path_to_file.20040810.1   
amrestore:   1: skipping OTHER_SERVER1._path_to_files.20040810.0   
amrestore:   2: skipping OTHER_SERVER2._path_to_files.20040810.1    
   
before getting one of the 'strange amanda header'  errors, but it's  
kind   
of rare. Is this a sign of tapes going bad? Is there some config file  
that   
needs to be fixed? Is there a better way to get the data off the  
tapes?   
   
Thanks.   
Scott
