When I run amrestore like this
amrestore -f 0 -p /dev/nst0 localhost sda2 | restore -ivb2 -f -

I got message:

Verify tape and initialize maps
Input is from a local file/pipe
amrestore:   0: skipping start of tape: date 20060223 label EPIP2
amrestore:   1: restoring localhost.sda2.20060223.0
restore: Tape is not a dump tape

Is it a dump image or is it gnutar image?

Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 1024+1024, wrote 0
amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file.

Of course I CAN RESTORE it on production server where it was backed up ! ?

Please advice ... I'm loosing faith in my self and open source ;-)

There is no substitute for learning.  But for Open Source software
at least you're not bound by the details that the vendor publishes.
