Hi Gertjan,

Two reasons. First, "UNIX Backup and recovery" (O'Reilly) says:

"amrecover should not be used to do full system recovery with vendor restore 
tools [...] Full system recovery with vendor restore should be done with 
amrestore."

Makes sense. And the second reason is that I want to build a few scripts so 
that my colleague can take over things when I'm not around. I'd rather not 
drop him in an interactive shell (he's used to another type of interface, 
commonly used on workstations *grin*)

I tried "recover if -" btw, and that does work. Strange, because it's the 
same image. But I don't quite trust it. I'm a bit afraid that an 
interactive restore won't delete files that were deleted between level 0 
and 1. And there are hosts that contain sensitive data that should really 
be gone if deleted.

Kind regards,

Hans
