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 -

# end

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

Are you sure, I can't reproduce the error?
Can you try the following:

amfetchdump -ap DailySet1 server /data 20070513 > foobar
grep -i warning foobar
/sbin/restore -iovf - < foobar


Jean-Louis

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.
