Not too long ago, I had some questions about recovering files, most 
importantly, rebuilding a crashed machine using backups.

The most straightforward method appears to be to reinstall the operating 
system, use native utilities (tar or dump) or install amanda utilities, then 
restore the files.

If I'm running amrecover onto a newly installed operating system, will it 
overwrite existing files?  Will my archived /etc/inetd.conf overwrite the 
existing /etc/inetd.conf?

Also, can someone give me an example of using tar or dump to restore a file 
off of a remote machine?


Thanks,

Ivan
