Amanda-users:

I tried to recover a file that we backed up using gtar, which was 
expected to be on the level 0 tape (WCNOTESX39).  I've retrieved that 
tarball but can't locate the file.
I'm concerned that I don't have an error message for the particular file 
either (it's not one of the files listed in the amanda report as 'strange').


We've seen "STRANGE" errors which we attribute to open, files changing 
during backup but the file I'm looking for isn't listed as an error in 
/maildb2/five.

Server platform:  SunOS nwcnotes 5.9 Generic_118558-11 sun4u sparc 
SUNW,Ultra-250
and Amanda version 2.4.4.

$ gtar --version  tar (GNU tar) 1.15.1 on both client and server

Client platform: SunOS wcnotes 5.10 Generic_118833-36 sun4v sparc 
SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200



...Snip/snip from amadmin for the level 0 I'm looking for:

These are the errors reported by amanda for the evening in question:

These dumps were to tapes WCNOTESX38, WCNOTESX39, WCNOTESX40.
The next 6 tapes Amanda expects to used are: WCNOTESX01, WCNOTESX02, 
WCNOTESX03, WCNOTESX04, WCNOTESX05, WCNOTESX06.
