Hi,

I was doing some restore last week using amrecover, from incremental
backup and I shot myself in the foot a couple of times when amrecover
requests to change tape:

- I am sharing the keyboard and screen between several servers using a
  KVM switch;

- the KVM switch has a screen saver function;

- amanda server has a screen saver function;

- while amanda was recovering the first tape,I switched to another
  machine, maybe one or both screen saver where activated, so when I
  came back to amanda to switch tape and confirm I end up hitting
  "enter" without wanting it and before I switched tapes, so the
  recover process had failed.

So it could be because of my old version of Amanda (2.4.something) but
it would be nice if amrecover did not allow an empty input when asking
to confirm that the new tape has been inserted.

Best regards,

Olivier
