Hi,

I'm trying to recover some files w/ amrecover on one of my hosts. 
Everything goes good w/ the amrecover utility, up until i want to
extract... that part goes like this:

amrecover> extract
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst0 on host localhost.
The following tapes are needed: DailySet1000
Restoring files into directory /tmp
Continue [?/Y/n]? y
Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst0 on host localhost.
Load tape DailySet1000 now
Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? y
cannot connect to localhost: Connection refused
amrecover - can't talk to tape server

I'm assuming this is because i'm running the utility as root (not as
amanda), but iirc, the amanda documentation says i have to be root. 
What should i do?

thanks,
Cameron Matheson
