I think some E-mail got a bit confused here, so I'll try this again.
Rebecca: just ignore that previous note. It should have gone to Arindam.

OK, that looks fine.

Amrestore has to be run from the server, not the client, since it reads
the image.
As to the syntax, that depends a lot on what you're trying to do.
Could you fill in some more details, please? In particular, what did
you try to run and what did it say?
On the off chance you're trying to do a restore on the client, you would
need to rsh to the server and run amrestore there, sending the output
from it back to the client and piping it into your restore program.
For instance, if you use GNU tar on the client, it would be something
like this:
client> rsh <server> -n \
/path/to/amrestore -p /var/tmp/20010913/<IP>/_dev_sda5.0 \
| gtar xvbf 2 - ./the/thing/to/restore ...
If you want to use amrecover to do this, you'll need to post exactly
what you tried and what the results were for us to help.
