In order to restore files in place, you must invoke \fBamrecover\fR from the root of the backed up filesystem, or use \fBlcd\fR 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\&.

-\fBsetdisk diskname mountpoint\fR
+\fBsetdisk \fIdiskname\fR [\fImountpoint\fR]\fR
Specifies which disk to consider (default: the disk holding the working directory where \fBamrecover\fR is started)\&. It can only be set after the host is set with \fBsethost\fR\&. \fBDiskname\fR is the device name specified in the \fBamanda\&.conf\fR or \fBdisklist\fR configuration file\&. The disk must be local to the host\&. If \fBmountpoint\fR is not specified, all pathnames will be relative to the (unknown) mount point instead of full pathnames\&.

\fBsettape [[server]:][tapedev|default]\fR
-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 \fBdefault\fR 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 \fBtapedev\fR must be equal to the amrecover_changer setting on the server\&.

-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 \fBAMANDA\fR tapes with \fBamrestore\fR\&.
