Hello,
 
Is it possible to have amanda check it's backups?  Have her read in each dump on the tape and make sure the length is correct?   (or ideally tar zt each dump if they are a tar dump, etc... and compare to what was backed up)
 
My backups have been running seeminingly fine, but I just did a a test restore, and some of the filesets are only partially raadable.  Not sure at this point if it's one bad tape, or something wrong with the drive, etc...  and would be nice if Amanda tested them for me as she uses them...
