One more thing:

As a normal NT server, usually the hard drives are shared automagically,
via a $ sign.

therefore if you have C, D and E drive, they are "shared" respectively by
//host/c$, //host/d$, and //host/e$. Assuming you got administrative
privledge access.

So i got lucky and was able to fully backup c$ like an ext2 partition.

my disklist entry was:

amanda-server //host/c$ user-tar

now, here is the problem, I do want an interactive restore if such a
possibility exists, but how the heck, do I restore that partition?

right now if I just type in amrestore -p /dev/nst0 amanda-server |tar xvf
- it will dump the contents of the tar in the current directory. But I
could not tell if it would only do c$.

and the output of amrestore while it spans through the 'files' shows that
the NT server index is called  hostname.__host_c$.date.0

so i tried: amrestore -p /dev/nst0 amanda-server hostname __host_c$ |tar
xvf -
but it just skips.
i even tried c$, c\$, //host/c$ and so on.. just skips it.

any ideas? =)

Thanks!
