.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBAmrecover\fR
browses the database of
-\fBAmanda\fR
+\fIAmanda\fR
index files to determine which tapes contain files to recover. Furthermore, it is able to recover files.
.PP
In order to restore files in place, you must invoke
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.
.PP
Amrecover will read the
-\fBamanda-client.conf\fR
+\fBamanda\-client.conf\fR
file and the
-\fIconfig\fR\fB/amanda-client.conf\fR
+\fIconfig\fR\fB/amanda\-client.conf\fR
file.

.PP
\fBAmrecover\fR
\fBamrecover\fR.
.PP
The purpose of browsing the database is to build up a
-\fBrestore list\fR
+\fIrestore list\fR
of files to be extracted from the backup system. The following commands are available:
-.TP
+.PP
\fBsethost hostname\fR
+.RS 4
Specifies which host to look at backup files for (default: the local host).
-.TP
-\fBsetdate YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM[-SS] | YYYY-MM-DD\fR
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBsetdate YYYY\-MM\-DD\-HH\-MM[\-SS] | YYYY\-MM\-DD\fR
+.RS 4
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.
.sp
For example, if:
.sp
+.RS 4
.nf
-
-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
-
+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
.fi
+.RE
.sp
then the command
-\fBsetdate 1997-07-08-00\fR
+\fBsetdate 1997\-07\-08\-00\fR
would yield files from the following days:
.sp
+.RS 4
.nf
-
-1997-07-08 (the latest level 2 backup)
-1997-07-05 (the latest level 1 backup)
-1997-07-01 (the latest level 0 backup)
-
+1997\-07\-08 (the latest level 2 backup)
+1997\-07\-05 (the latest level 1 backup)
+1997\-07\-01 (the latest level 0 backup)
.fi
+.RE
.sp
Only the most recent version of a file will be presented.

-.RS

\fBamrecover\fR
is started). It can only be set after the host is set with
\fBsethost\fR.
-\fBDiskname\fR
+\fIDiskname\fR
is the device name specified in the
-\fBamanda.conf\fR
+\fIamanda.conf\fR
or
-\fBdisklist\fR
+\fIdisklist\fR
configuration file. The disk must be local to the host. If
-\fBmountpoint\fR

+\fBsettape \fR[[\fIserver\fR]:][\fItapedev\fR|\fIdefault\fR]

.sp
If you want amrecover to use your changer, the
