Hi, I am using amanda-2.5.1p3 with DLEs backed up using tar. When a directory name contains a space it does not seem possible to cd into it to recover files. This is a copy of the output received when trying to change into a directory called "Directory with space".
amrecover> ls 2007-03-21 amanda-2.5.1p2.tar.gz 2007-03-21 "Directory with space/" 2007-03-21 .ssh/ amrecover> cd "Directory with space/" Invalid directory - "Directory with space/" amrecover> cd "Directory with space" Invalid directory - "Directory with space" amrecover> cd Directory with space Invalid directory - Directory syntax error amrecover> cd Directory\ with\ space "Directory\" is not a valid shell wildcard pattern: trailing backslash (\) syntax error It is possible to add and extract the directory. This makes the problem inconvenient rather than crippling. amrecover> add "Directory with space" Added dir "/atn/Directory with space/" at date 2007-03-21 amrecover> extract Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst0 on host backup-01.fhs.local.
