Was last Friday's dump (Sep 2) a "monthly config friday"
or a "daily config friday"?
You have 'record no' set in the monthly config only, right?
You do have 'index yes' set in both configs, right?
amrecover doesn't care what tape is in the drive when you
are doing the browsing, adding files to the extract list,
etc. Only when you ask it to do the extract does it care
and at that time it asks you to put in the tape it wants.
The files names you browse come from the indexes, not the tape.
