Hi,
I'm trying to restore some dumps off a set of tapes, and I'm getting the
following error with amrecover:
----8<----
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nrsa0 on host
aphrodite.acf.aquezada.com.Load tape dltbw14 now
Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? Y
Tape is not a dump tape
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1
----8<----
However, running amrestore on one of the candidate tapes seems to get me
some dump files that are meaningful:
----8<----
aphrodite:/vol/vol2/babelfish-restore$ sudo amrestore /dev/nrsa0 babelfish
Password:
amrestore: 1: skipping aphrodite.ar0s2e.20060609.1

Does anyone have an idea how I might recover these files using something a
little less blunt than amrestore?
The tape server is Amanda 2.4.5 and the relevant disklist entries are:
----8<----
babelfish ad0s1a comp-root -1 fxp0
babelfish ad0s1f comp-user -1 fxp0
babelfish ad0s1d comp-user -1 fxp0
----8<----
where "comp-user" is:
----8<----
define dumptype comp-user {
global
comment "Non-root partitions on reasonably fast machines"
compress client fast
priority medium
}
----8<----
