DESCRIPTION
-Amrecover browses the database of AMANDA index files to determine which tapes
+Amrecover browses the database of Amanda index files to determine which tapes
contain files to recover. Furthermore, it is able to recover files.
In order to restore files in place, you must invoke amrecover from the root of
the backed up filesystem, or use lcd to move into that directory, otherwise a
directory tree that resembles the backed up filesystem will be created in the
current directory. See the examples below for details.
-See the amanda(8) man page for more details about AMANDA.
+Amrecover will read the amanda-client.conf file and the config/amanda-
+client.conf file.
+See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
OPTIONS
Note
-The listed defaults map to the values you ran the configure-script with.
+The Default values are those set at compile-time. Use amrestore to recover
+client-encrypted or client-custom-compressed tapes.
[ -C ] config
- AMANDA configuration (default: daily).
+ Amanda configuration.
-s index-server
- Host that runs the index daemon (default: oops).
+ Host that runs the index daemon.
-t tape-server
- Host that runs the tape server daemon (default: 192.168.0.10).
+ Host that runs the tape server daemon.
-d tape-device
- Tape device to use on the tape server host (default: /dev/nst0).
+ Tape device to use on the tape server host.
+
+ -o clientconfigoption
+ See the "CONFIGURATION OVERWRITE" section in amanda(8).
COMMANDS
Specifies which host to look at backup files for (default: the local
host).
- setdate YYYY-MM-DD
- Set the date (default: today). File listing commands only return
+ setdate YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM[-SS] | YYYY-MM-DD
+ Set the restore time (default: now). File listing commands only return
information on backup images for this day, for the day before with the
next lower dump level, and so on, until the most recent level 0 backup on
or before the specified date is encountered.
1996-07-01 was a level 0 backup
1996-07-02 through 1996-07-05 were level 1 backups
1996-07-06 through 1997-07-08 were level 2 backups
- then if 1997-07-08 is the requested date, files from the following days
- would be used:
+ then the command setdate 1997-07-08-00 would yield files from the
+ following days:
1997-07-08 (the latest level 2 backup)
1997-07-05 (the latest level 1 backup)
- setdisk diskname mountpoint
+ setdisk diskname [mountpoint]
Specifies which disk to consider (default: the disk holding the working
directory where amrecover is started). It can only be set after the host
is set with sethost. Diskname is the device name specified in the
host. If mountpoint is not specified, all pathnames will be relative to
the (unknown) mount point instead of full pathnames.
+ listhost [diskdevice]
+ List all host
+
listdisk [diskdevice]
List all diskname
settape [[server]:][tapedev|default]
Specifies the host to use as the tape server, and which of its tape
devices to use. If the server is omitted, but the colon is not, the
- server name reverts to 192.168.0.10, the configure-time default. If the
- tape device is omitted, it remains unchanged. To use the default tape
- device selected by the tape server, the word default must be specified.
- If no argument is specified, or the argument is an empty string, no
- changes occur, and the current settings are displayed.
+ server name reverts to the configure-time default. If the tape device is
+ omitted, it remains unchanged. To use the default tape device selected by
+ the tape server, the word default must be specified. If no argument is
+ specified, or the argument is an empty string, no changes occur, and the
+ current settings are displayed.
If you want amrecover to use your changer, the tapedev must be equal to
the amrecover_changer setting on the server.
If you need to change the protocol (tape:, rait:, file:, null:) then you
list file
Display the contents of the restore list. If a file name is specified,
the restore list is written to that file. This can be used to manually
- extract the files from the AMANDA tapes with amrestore.
+ extract the files from the Amanda tapes with amrestore.
clear
Clear the restore list.

# amrecover
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2. Contacting server on oops ...
- 220 oops AMANDA index server (2.4.2) ready.
+ 220 oops Amanda index server (2.4.2) ready.
Setting restore date to today (1997-12-09)
200 Working date set to 1997-12-09.
200 Config set to daily.
PAGER The ls and list commands will use $PAGER to display the file lists.
Defaults to more if PAGER is not set.
+AMANDA_SERVER If set, $AMANDA_SERVER will be used as index-server. The value
+will take precedence over the compiled default, but will be overridden by the -
+s switch.
+AMANDA_TAPE_SERVER If set, $AMANDA_TAPE_SERVER will be used as tape-server. The
+value will take precedence over the compiled default, but will be overridden by
+the -t switch.
