Sometimes the files you're recovering are on a tape that's no longer in
the changer, so you must manually insert it into the changer and mount
it to a drive before telling amrecover to continue.

I think it would be nice if Amanda could mount the tape automatically
without asking you, if it knows that the required tape is already in the
changer.  Can it already do this, or will it be a feature in a future
release?

Subject: amrecover question.


I am running amanda-2.5.1 on a Sparc Solaris 10

When I run amrecover and do the extract, it tells me what tape needs to
be
mounted. I then have to go to another window and run amtape to mount the
tape. Since it knows what tape to mount, what is the reason to go to
another
window to run amtape to mount the tape? Am I not doing it correctly? Am
I
missing something?

Thanks

Robert
