I'm running this amrestore command on the Amanda tape server a Debian
box
not restoring straight to the Solaris client box.
The default on the tape server running Debian is gnu tar but I thionk
you may be right I have backed up the Solaris client with Solaris tar.
how do I ensure the backup tar is using gnu tar on the Solaris client.

Hope this is clear if you need me to clarify anything please let me
know.
I'm pretty sure Paul's accessment is corrrect I'm backing up using the
Solaris tar but how do you tell Amanda where to find the Amanda tar, if
I change the
PATH order it could impact on other things on that Server.
Thanks for you responses hope you can see where I'm stuck.
regards,
Stephen
