"amrestore:   1: reached end of tape: date 20050510"  Thanks, lei

Subject: Re: amrecover: Unexpected end of file


I had the same problem and I believed that the file must have been 
prematurely truncated.  In the end it worked fine with amrestore to grab

the amanda file from tape

amrestore -C /dev/nst0 fs0 var

and then manually restoring the contents of that file (mine was a dump 
file).


gunzip -c /dumpfile/fs0._home.20050420.0 | restore -r -f -
