Recovering the list of hosts and directories should be easy, just
get them from your email report, or run amtoc if your report's
fieldwidths are too narrow for the full paths.
   The dumptype would be harder.  If you used the same one for
everything its no problem, otherwise you might have to dig through
the debug logs on the clients to see what programs you were using
(dump or tar or ..).   Some of the details you might just need to
recreate from scratch (like spindle numbers or start times).

Good luck,
Frank
