>... Apparently all the suggested directories in docs/INSTALL are non >existent on m FreeBSD 2.2.2 machine. ... What do you mean by the suggested directories? The directories that hold the binaries and libraries should get built and filled in by "make install". If you're talking about the Amanda config directories, you'll need to build those, and you told Amanda where they would be with --with-configdir (which defaults to $sysconfdir/amanda where $sysconfdir comes from --sysconfdir which defaults to $prefix/etc where $prefix comes from --prefix which defaults to /usr/local -- whew!). >Other question can you extract a single file from a dumped backup? No, you have to throw the whole machine away and start over. Just kidding :-). You can bring back anything from a single file to a whole machine. Remember that Amanda is just storing images that are created with standard tools, e.g. GNU tar or the vendor dump program. So whatever those tools provide for restoring can be used with Amanda. If you're using amrecover, you'll work your way down to the file/directory with "cd" and "ls" and then "add" what you want to bring back. If you're using amrestore then you'll be piping the output to the appropriate restore program, and they will provide mechanisms for reloading whatever you want. >Pablo Quintana John R.
