amrecover works on my tape server host machine but i am trying to
use amrecover to test restore of files on my client machine.
*************I do not think so but:
Do I need to set up the config directory and the amanda.conf file on the
client machine as well?
Amanda is installed on my client machine.
My host machine is backing up my client machine successfully.
Here is the indexing defined in the amanda.conf my the host
machine. I am not surre if I have to set this up on the client machine.
I thought amanda only cared about the host config files.
********************amanda.conf on host machine*************************
# historic reasons, since now it is supposed to be a directory (unless
# you have selected some database format other than the `text' default)
infofile "/usr/adm/amanda/daily/curinfo" # database DIRECTORY
logdir "/usr/adm/amanda/daily" # log directory
indexdir "/usr/adm/amanda/daily/index" # index directory
tapelist "/usr/adm/amanda/daily/tapelist" # list of used tapes
# tapelist is stored, by default, in the directory that contains
amanda.conf
