Hi to everybody
I use amanda 2.4.1p1 on a Amanda backup Server running RedHat 6.1.
Every night this server executes automatically the backups of the amanda
clients using gnutar program.
The backups are stored on a EXB-8505 SCSI tape (/dev/nst0).
Everything works well if I try to execute amrestore on the Linux amanda
Server.
Now we are trying amanda on a HP Amanda Backup Server using HP-UX: also on
this machine everything works well.
The problem is that if I try to execute amrestore on the HP Server using a
tape recorded by the Linux Server nothing happens, and I see the following
message:
bash-2.04# /usr/local/sbin/amrestore /dev/rmt/0mnb
amrestore: short file header block: 512 bytes
amrestore: WARNING: not at start of tape, file numbers will be offset
amrestore: 0: reached end of tape: date
Bash-2.04#
I have the same problem if I try amrestore on the Linux Server using a tape
recorded by the HP Server.
What can I do so that I can use the two Servers indifferently?
Thanks in advance,
Pietro Regis
