Actually, that's what happens on my server and I just enter the following commands: sethost <host_to_restore> (from disklist entry) setdisk <partition> here's an output that I save to remind myself of just that: AMRECOVER Version 2.4.1p1. Contacting server on fred.quantified.net ... 220 fred AMANDA index server (2.4.1p1) ready. 200 Access OK Setting restore date to today (2001-01-31) 200 Working date set to 2001-01-31. 200 Config set to daily. 501 No index records for host: fred.quantified.net.

Trying ftp.quantified.net ... 200 Dump host set to ftp.quantified.net. amrecover> setdisk /dev/sd0g 200 Disk set to /dev/sd0g. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doug Silver Network Manager Quantified Systems, Inc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
