1. Specify only certain directories per host to be backed up. Not
global list of directories configured on server and then excludes on
clients.
2. From client use amrecover to fetch any host's last full, sucessful
backup in an automatted way without browsing with the ftp like client
or answering questions. All from vtape and no physical tape devices.
Example.... amrecover -h restorehost.domain.com
<http://restorehost.domain.com> DailySet1 /restore/path
amrecover is an interactive program.
A patch that allow all command to be set on the command line will be
accepted.
To automate it, you can create a small file (/tmp/recover-cmd):
sethost HOST
setdisk DLE
add .
extract
y
y
y
y
y
y
quit
and run: cd /path/where/to/recover ; amrecover CONF < /tmp/recover-cmd
Be sure to be on the right directory before running amrecover, it can
remove everything in it.

#2 is critical in virtual machine envrionment. Old virtual machine is
gone, new one created, then automation tool runs the amrecover command
to download the last full backup for the virtual machine that is being
replaced.
Is this possible?
