Hello,

recently I amvaulted from 20 years old DDS tapes to vtapes on hard disk.
Now I would like to restore from these vtapes.

"amadmin CONF find" does not locate the dumps on vtape (labeled
vBE-full-001), only on original tapes (labeled BE-full-00 to BE-full-04).

$ amadmin be-full find svr /

date       host disk lv storage pool    tape or file file part status
2000-01-19 svr  /     0 be-full be-full BE-full-00      2 1/-1 OK

$ ll /var/lib/vtape/be-full/slot1
total 7643100
-rw------- 1 amanda disk      32768 Oct  4 12:34 00000.vBE-full-001
[...]
-rw------- 1 amanda disk   13664256 Oct  4 12:35 00002.svr._.0
[...]

The logdir contains the original logfiles of 19 Jan 2000 as well as the
logfile log.20201004123343.0 describing the amvaulting to vBE-full-001.

$ /opt/amanda/sbin/amfetchdump -d vtape  be-full svr '^/$' 20000119
