Hi I have just recently included a monthly backup script whereby I was
advised to amend the parameters of dumptype {
                           recored no
                           }
Thus as default was set to yes I would cause amanda confusion.
Also when I tried a amrecover exercise I am now unable to recover.
Basically where previously I would be told what tape to put into the
server after I set 
setdate yyyy-mm-dd as below I was told which tape to use "Not Now"

I get Setting restore date to today But I want data from last Friday
which as a exercise was backed up and today we deleted the data for the
test but of cause I am unable to put the correct tape in. So if possible
has anyone any ideas as the only thing I can think of is the parameter I
changed.

root@myserver:/ # amrecover -s myserver.smtl.co.uk -t
myserver.smtl.co.uk
