Tell amrecover to connect to your tape server with the -s and -t options.
You don't need to install amidxtaped on the client

My clients seem to fail at doing recovers unless I have the amidxtaped process installed (and in inetd.conf) on the client. Yet doing an install as "client-only" doesn't install this piece. I wind up doing server installs on most of my clients.

What am I doing wrong? I gather that amidxtaped isn't supposed to be needed on

the client,  but I can't make do without it.
