I'm not understanding amrecover, and need some help.  Specifically, I want to
recover a file foo.xls which originated
from /home/anne/Documents/Spreadsheets.  I don't want it to overwrite the
existing copy, so want to recover it to a named directory.

My vtapes are in /Backup/amandatapes/Dailys.  I created a
directory /Backup/Recover, then started amrestore.

[root@borg ~]# amrecover
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.0-20060323. Contacting server on borg ...
220 borg AMANDA index server (2.5.0-20060323) ready.

Setting restore date to today (2006-07-20)
200 Working date set to 2006-07-20.

amrecover> cd ..
Must select disk before changing directory
amrecover> exit
200 Good bye.
