Hello...

I am testing amanda-2.5.1p3-20070516 to get over the flush issues and 
crypt+span issues.  


amfetchdump -ap DailySet1 server /data 20070513 | /sbin/restore -iovf -
Verify tape and initialize maps
Input is from a local file/pipe
Checksum error 34765635674, inode 0 file (null)
/sbin/restore: Tape is not a dump tape
1 tape(s) needed for restoration
The following tapes are needed: 00XXXXS
Label mismatch, got 00XXXXS and expected 00XXXXS
Looking for tape 00XXXXS...
amfetchdump: slot 5: date 20070513000503 label 00XXXXS (exact label match)
Scanning 00XXXXS (slot 5)
amfetchdump: 5: restoring FILE: date 20070513000503 host server disk /data lev 
0 comp .gz program /sbin/dump crypt enc server_encrypt 
/usr/sbin/amcrypt-ossl-asym server_decrypt_option -d
amcrypt-ossl-asym: /usr/bin/openssl is version 0.9.7a
amcrypt-ossl-asym: Using pass phrase kluge for OpenSSL version >=0.9.7d

gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
error writing output file

# end

it looks like amfetchdump is sending misc info to /sbin/restore instead of the 
terminal.  ( stdout vs. stderr ?)


amfetchdump -a DailySet1 server /data 20070513
Warning: no log files found for tape 00XXXS written 2005-11-05
# plus more
# these warning are probably from old retired tapes with no-reuse in tapelist
# I think the "Warning: ..." output is passed to | /sbin/restore 


extracting to a file, then using /sbin/restore on the file did work.
