Yes, but what does the /amandatape/data link point to? This is how the amanda utils will address it. > >Any idea how to retireve files from >00001.lnxdev.ncci.com._caplan_unixdata_accdata.0 The individual files in the slot6 directory can be unpacked with the instructions you'll get from this command issued after cd'ing to a scratch directory that has enough space to receive it: dd if=/amandatapes/daily/slot6/0001.lnxdev.mnnc.com_caplan_unixdata_assdata.0 All on one line of course. :) The file is a normal tarball, possibly compressed with gzip, with a 32k long amanda header at the front of the file. > >TIA > >Bernie Wu >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >The information contained in this e-mail message is intended only for >the personal and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above.
