It would place the recovered files in your current directory on the server, not on the client. As for your client's new problem, I'm adding the Amanda-users back into this reply cuz I can diagnose that from home. Hope someone else can step in here.

I found an amrecover log but first this: I realized I've been trying to recover from the server (i.e. run amrecover on the server), and not the client as directed in the tutorial (but shouldn't recovery from the server work too?). Running amrecover on the client, I get this: [root@cslim ~]# amrecover DailySet1 AMRECOVER Version 3.3.4. Contacting server on cback.uphs.upenn.edu<http://cback.uphs.upenn.edu> ...

Those are some first steps, in case better info doesn't come soon! Deb Baddorf Fermilab
