Hello,

I'm trying to recover some file using
VERSION="Amanda-2.5.0p2"
on CentOS5.

I'm stuck at the last step where amanda
ask me again and again a tape that is already
loaded. I'm pretty sure my tape reader works since i'm doing
dump everyday with it.

Any idea where this could come from ?

Thanks in advance,

Kenji

here is what i have done exactly

[root@pappus1 tmp]# amrecover monthly -s pappus1 -t pappus1
