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\$'
