Problem
The DLE name contains $ character. How can I use amrestore(8) to recover the DLE?
Solution
$ is a shell special character as well as Amanda special character.
So, $ has to be escaped twice.
For example:
If DLE is linuxclient //windowsxp/SNAPSHOT$ root-tar
Use either of the following amrestore(8) command options:
amrestore /dev/nst0 linuxclient //windowsxp/SNAPSHOT\\\$
amrestore /dev/nst0 linuxclient '//windowsxp/SNAPSHOT\$'
