I should recover some files from a directory, but I can't get into the directory.
The path is: /home/files/\ \ MAGS/ or "/home/files/ MAGS/", here is what I do:
#amrecover daily
amrecover> setdisk /home/files/\ \ MAGS
Mount point "\" invalid - must start with /
Invalid command - parse error
amrecover>
How can I do that - PLEASE HELP - I'm about to be killed by my boss
First don't panic. Being killed by your boss is not that bad as it sounds :-)
Then, yes indeed, amrecover has trouble with spaces (or other strange chars in the name).
You're also confusing DLE names (setdisk) and subdirectories.
Workaround:
setdisk /home/files (or whatever your DLE is named)
cd *MAGS (or "??MAGS": use a wildcard as args to cd)Workaround nr 2:
amrestore -p ... | tar -xvf - './ MAGS/some/file'
(While panicking, it is maybe wiser to restore into a temporary empty directory to avoid overwriting critical files.)
