Hai:

I have the following errors, while using amrestore and amrecover. I am not
able to get through. I have uninstalled and reconfigured amanda again, but
.. .

I am running, AiX on ibm machine. ibms2 is the hostname and hd3 is the
drive i wanted to take the backup.

# ./amrecover

AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on ibm580_2 ...

I am not able to find out where has this rfd0 come from. My tape drive is
rmt0.1.


Thanking you.
