Description of problem (as posted to Amanda users):


Hello everyone,

So, I am not quite sure what is going on. When I try to do an amrecover,
I get the following:

Load tape normal149 now
Continue [?/Y/n/s/d]? Y
Got no header and data from server, check in amidxtaped.*.debug and
amandad.*.debug files on server

The logs hold such things as:

This is also not 100% consistent. I got it to do a restore once. Doing
the same steps with the same disk and date will not restore, it is all
the above.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Trever
