amrecover needs to be run as root, so .amandahosts on the server must allow root access from the clients. Thus, a sample .amandahosts file on the amanda server might look like: tapeserver.somewhere.com amanda tapeserver.somewhere.com root client1.somewhere.com root . . etc. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
