Hi I had a monthly and daily script that checked if it was last friday of the month. Thus it reverts back to daily config after amcheck notes that a monthly tape is still in the server thus I have since the first monthly tape was used to backup I have been using daily tape thus data that We used on the friday last was a daily but when I try amrecover it doesn't tell which tape use for the date. I did change the dumptype paremeter from default "yes" TO no So I may have mos configured but the fact that amdump made a back up of that date I still believed I could still get that date data back using amrecover.
Thus is there away say using amadmin to get data by the a way inserting that date tape.
