I'm not terribly familiar with crypto, but presumably you need the secret key to decrypt. Hopefully that was stored somewhere other than on the old computer? BTW, once you get amfetchdump working, amrecover will work fine. Amrecover just doesn't show error messages very well. For example, the message regarding am_passphrase was buried in the amidxtaped logfile. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
