Use the "setdate" command within amrecover (to specify the date as of
which you want the restore done).

If you are not sure of the date, use the "history" command to see the
correspondence between dates and tape labels.

You will probably be well-advised to peform the "mt fsf" command (to
forward space to the proper file number) before telling amrecover to use
the tape in question.

Cheers,
david

Using an old tape

2000-11-09 Thread Gonzalo Arana

If I configure a 4 tape cicle (full backup each, none incremental), and the last
dump is on tape 3.  How may I retrieve de dump on tape 2?
Sory if my question is quite basic, but I haven't found anything on the
amrecover manpage.
Waiting for answers,

Gonzalo
