Date: Tue, 19 Jan 99 09:22:14 -0500 From: FreeBSD Questions X-Mailer: E-Mail Connection v2.5.03 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG -- [ From: FreeBSD Questions * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- Hello, amanda users, maybe some of you can help me. I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.2 and amanda 2.4.1. I am using four tapes VOL02, VOL03, VOL04 and VOL05. Now I will explain my problems. 1. I do one backup weekly on sundays. After using VOL04 the next amanda run should go to VOL01. On Monday I went to check how amanda ran but it said that the tape I had put on the tape drive was not an amanda tape, and of course was VOL01. I created VOL05 and removed VOL01 from data base. Some clue on this? 2. Last dump was to VOL02, now I want to recover a file that is there. I use amrecover and add the file to the extracting list. Everething is fine so far . Then I type extract at the amrecover> prompt and get this: amrecover> extract Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nrst0 on host mail.netsys.hn. The following tapes are needed: VOL02 Restoring files into directory /usr/home/quintana Continue? [Y/n]: y Load tape VOL02 now Continue? [Y/n]: y EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file. amrecover: short block 0 bytes UNKNOWN file amrecover: Can't read file header extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 9:04 mail: {103} -------- 9:06 mail: {109} more amidxtaped.debug amidxtaped: debug 1 pid 5603 ruid 1712 euid 1712 start time Tue Jan 19 09:04 :46 1999 amidxtaped: version 2.4.1p1 > SECURITY USER root bsd security: remote host mail.netsys.hn user root local user amanda amandahosts security check passed > 6 amrestore_nargs=6 > -h > -p > /dev/nrst0 > mail.netsys.hn > ^sd0a$ > 19990117 Ready to execv amrestore with: path = /usr/local/sbin/amrestore argv[0] = "amrestore" argv[1] = "-h" argv[2] = "-p" argv[3] = "/dev/nrst0" argv[4] = "mail.netsys.hn" argv[5] = "^sd0a$" argv[6] = "19990117" amrestore: 0: skipping start of tape: date 19990117 label VOL02 amrestore: 1: skipping internet.netsys.hn.sd0a.19990117.0 amrestore: missing file header block amrestore: 2: reached end of tape: date 19990117 amidxtaped: amrestore terminated normally with status: 1 Rewinding tape: done amidxtaped: pid 5603 finish time Tue Jan 19 09:04:54 1999 9:06 mail: {110} Some clue on this? 3. Last question. How can I recover a file that is on an older tape. For example I want the file /var/mail/ayalaser that was saved one week ago. amreceover will always ask for the last tape right?
