I need to completely restore all the directories in one dle, (in other words a full restore ) but amrecover is telling me it only needs last night's tape which only has an incremental, its not prompting for the most recent level 0 at all. I can work around it manually, but amrecover has always worked "normally" for me in the past. If anyone has any ideas . . . -- George Kelbley System Support Group Computer Science Department University of New Mexico 505-277-6502 Fax: 505-277-6927
