It is easier to restore a splitted dump with amfetchdump. It will write a 250Go file. 

There is no way to automatically rebuild index from tape.

Hello,

Server and client are 2.5.1p1 on debian etch
I've been trying to use amrestore but the backup is around 250Go splitted over 5 tapes and I'm not successful so far. amrestore is restoring the fileset using 10M size files. Problem is amrestore doesn't close 10M files it already restored (can see it using lsof) and after some time, I hit the system limit for open files. I rose the system limit *4 but I'm not sure it will be enough as 250Go/10Mo is a pretty high number. 

Is this situation normal ?

Btw, is there a way to rebuild indexes from tapes?

Franck.
