Hi all,

The problem :
When I restore (with amrestore) a directory /var/courier, it's take only 10min, or when I restore a sub-directory /var/courier/toto/, il takes more than 1 hour.
With :
/var/courier = ~ 20Go
/var/courier/toto/ is only 20Mo.

I bet you used "fast skip forward" implicitly or explicitly
when doing the restore with amrestore of the complete filesystem,
then rewound the tape, and used the much slower, read-and-skip
that is built into amrestore when not providing any fsf info.


- The summary of amanda.conf :
[...]

You can add a directives in amanda.conf
to let amrecover also use the fsf features:

amrecover_do_fsf yes
amrecover_check_label yes       ( this implies a rewind -- also nice )
