Its now installed on the client (GO704.coyote.den) I am trying to recover. > But maybe you need to add '-s coyote -t coyote' to the amrecover > command line if 'coyote' is the amanda server. > Or you can put them in amanda-client.conf On which machine? Humm: Might be a step in the right direction. root@GO704:/lib/firmware/hm2# su amanda -c "amrecover -C Daily -s coyote -t coyote" No passwd entry for user 'amanda' At least on that machine. Next? I also tried by using backup as the user since that is in passwd here: root@GO704:/lib/firmware/hm2# su backup -c "amrecover -C Daily -s coyote -t coyote" X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. sh: 1: amrecover: not found I also tried running it on this machine to write on that one from here, but there isn't an obvious way to change the / that an lpwd displays. Obviously extracting to there "/" would destroy this machine. Thanks Jean-Louis. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
