Hi,

Actually yeah, i got it messed up a bit. Well the following is the
"Redefined output".  I'm not sure whether i did something wrong or have
forgotten some confgurations but the following is what i've done. by the way
guys is it the settape command is correct? 

settape sanback.mydomain.com:file:/backup/amanda/dumps/tape09

If i use this, the following is the error that had occur.


# amrecover DailySet1
