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!
