+==== amanda-client.conf ====
+Configure the client's ///etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf// to specify the appropriate server, config, tape, and auth settings, ie:
+<file>conf "daily"               # your config name
+index_server "192.168.5.25"      # your amindexd server
+tape_server  "192.168.5.25"      # your amidxtaped server
+tapedev      "amrecover_changer"        # your tape device
+                        # if not set, Use configure or ask server.
+                        # if set to empty string "", ask server
+                        # amrecover will use the changer if set to the value
+                        # of 'amrecover_changer' in the server amanda.conf.
+#   auth        - authentication scheme to use between server and client.
+#                 Valid values are "bsd", "bsdudp", "bsdtcp", "krb5", "local",
+#                 "rsh" and "ssh".
+#                 Default: [auth "bsdtcp"]

+This is used when restoring data on the client (with ''amrecover'').
+==== Prepare amrecover ====
+The first time you run amrecover it will try to SSH to the server.  You need to do this manually to accept the server's fingerprint:
+<code>root@odk:~# ssh 192.168.5.25
+The authenticity of host '192.168.5.25 (192.168.5.3)' can't be established.
+RSA key fingerprint is dc:80:d2:a1:da:16:b8:b5:1e:47:15:16:29:4c:be:89.
+Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
+Warning: Permanently added '192.168.5.25' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.
+root@192.168.5.25's password:
+root@odk:~# ^C</code>
+To connect and type "yes" is enough.  Don't bother logging in.

 ====== Test ======
+==== amcheck ====
 From the server, make sure the new client can be accessed:
 <code>sudo su - amandabackup
-amcheck -c taurustest 192.168.5.8</code>
+amcheck -c daily 192.168.5.8</code>
+You should see "0 problems found".  This means that the server should be able to backup the client successfully.
+==== amrecover ====
+From the client, make sure the server can be accessed:
+<code>sudo su -
+amrecover
+sethost 192.168.5.8
+listdisk</code>
-You should see "0 problems found".
+You should be able to use ''sethost'' to set the hostname you want to restore.  Use ''listdisk'' and ''setdisk'' to browse any backups for that host.
