Dear all,
Disaster strikes!!!
My Red Hat 8.0 backup server hard drive has died, and I need some advice in rebuilding
it.
I have all the backups tapes and I have backup up /etc /home /var and a few other
things.
My question is, How do I get all the configuration files back from the tapes

gab a copy of knoppix.
This a live cd version of Linux - ie you boot from it and you have a
fully working linux from cd - doesn't touch the hard drive.
You can then run mount the hd drive, setup the ethernet (if not DHCP)
and run amrestore/amrecover as needed (it's part of the knoppix
Thanks. I will print the docs and these e-mails out and start tonight. (sorry to top

I do use knoppix heavily, maybe it's my ignorance, but how will it know what to
restore without my disklists and conf files?

(got coffee now and read the bit about *backup* server died :-)
I think you already got the advice about doing a manual restore of the
proper files.
If you've got a knoppix disk you MAY be able to get the conf files etc
off the broken disk by mounting the disk and copying to a USB keydisk
Good idea, I think it will mount, but my cdrom is also dead :-(
I need to buy one.

Can anyone confirm this :
Does the content of you 'first' amandad.x.debug
file on a client machine contain this kind of info :
GNUTAR /opt 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 -1
GNUTAR /opt 1 2004:7:2:8:51:57 -1
GNUTAR /var 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 -1
GNUTAR /var 1 2004:7:2:8:46:47 -1
ie : for each directory 2

sure its the HD then and not the IDE - or is the disk SCSI??
CD-ROM drives are cheap anyhow..
Now that 1GB usb keyfob things are £200 I wonder how long it will
before we a knoppix for a USB dongle (for BIOS'es that can boot from
these things!)

I think the whole lot needs replacing some time. I think the cdrom is just dead. I
will try it in another machine.
I have and usb disks for some time, but the die quite a lot with all the read writes.
I have one now that you can only read. I even tried debug the controller stuff for it,
but no

The very 'first' debug file should be a 'noop' request, just to exchange

Hey Folks,
I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of doing this...
In case of backup server failure, I 'rsync' all my configuration files
in /etc with the Amanda index files onto another server. If my server
crashes or becomes unavailable, I have instantaneaous access to my
backup indices
