I've restored amanda file systems in the past from tape using amrestore. However, I switched from tapes to vtapes several months ago and am trying to restore a file system.
According to the FAQs and posts I saw searching various archives, one wants to use amrecover intead of amrestore for vtapes. Trying to run as user amanda, I am told it has to be run as root. When I run it as root, I get this error: su-2.05b# amrecover -C colos AMRECOVER Version 2.5.0p2. Contacting server on ns1.pil.net ... amrecover: cannot connect to server.mydomain.net: Connection refused I then add the user root to ~amanda/.amandahosts, but it doesn't make a difference: (Partial) cat ~amanda/.amandahosts localhost.mydomain.net amanda server.mydomain.net amanda server.mydomain.net root localhost.mydomain.net root I also tried adding to this config's amanda.conf the following: amrecover_changer "file:/path/to/tapedev" And it didn't help. What am I missing? TIA, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc. CEO and Janitor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://3.am =========================================================================
