Hello, 

sometimes, I have to rename a server(amanda client) in this case: 
server.domain1 -> server.domain2
( a server is moving into another zone)

Now, I have changed the disklist , the directories in "index-dir" and 
all occurances in "log.*" .
But, if I want to restore a file with amrecover, it does not work, because
on the tape  there is still the old name ( of course !).

Is there any workaround to keep the database before renaming a server ?
