hi im trying to get the same config up and running. i can now back up to disk, amrecover can view index files, files can be selected for restore etc.... but the restore doesnt work

my question is in the settape statement below is tapexx the amlabel you gave the directory or the actual name or the directory. must confess head not around this idea yet.

if i settape to the directory path or the amlabel or the directory i get:

#######
amrecover> settape file:/home2/amandadumps/day-01

I've not used the file: driver.
However the man page and briner's example say the syntax should be

        settape <HOST>:file:...
