Sometimes people just don't have an answer, so they don't post :)
I know, and sometimes people are discouraged by reams of debugging info
(mea culpa) :-)
I grep'ed the source, that message "Tape is not a dump tape" does
not come directly from amanda. It must be coming from an auxilliary
program. As it is refering to "dump", I suspect it is coming from
the restore program (restore, ufsrestore, ???restore, not amrestore).
So whatever was fed by amrecover to the restore program did not
appear to be created by the corresponding dump program.
Do you use dump/restore in your amanda dumptypes or gnutar?
I use dump/restore. I was trying to restore files from babelfish (a
FreeBSD 6.1 box) on the tape server aphrodite (a FreeBSD 4.9 box). One
would think the dump/restore utilities would be the same between versions
though?
When directed to do so, did you manually load the correct tape
and rewind it before typeing "y"?
Yep... I'm not that silly :-)
What did work was this:
1) use amrestore to pull the dumps off the tape and save them manually
2) run "restore" on the target machine to do interactive restore
But I'd rather not have to do that in the future, so I'd like to fix this.
