Hi I have looked at running command amrestore DailySet1 info myserver

Thus insert the tape SMTLSet103 as per the amadmin command below,thus
can I run amrestore -c /dev/nst0 myserver SMTLSet1

Thus have I go to rewind the tape first as I dont want to mess things
up.

 amadmin DailySet1 info myserver                                

Current info for myserver.smtl.co.uk /:
  Stats: dump rates (kps), Full:  2878.0, 2859.0, 2863.0
                    Incremental:  1083.0, 2757.0, 1375.0
