Ok, this is all my faul.
Here is the history. Around the and of May, I took all my home computers
(which are backed up daily by Amanada) down to allow the carpets to be
cleaned. Well they woulnd up staying down for about a month. I had them
stroed in a spare bedromm, and I had company coming for the 4th of July, so
I set them back up.
Naturally I had 2 dead disks (originally thought it was 3). One of these
was on the Amanda machine. I did not have tinme to deal with this because
of company, work, and out of town trips (one to move an entie=re house full
of furniture for my parents), untill today.
Now I had stoped feeding the tape drive tapes, when I brought the systems
back up. I assumed that I would have good backups for the 2 dead disks.
I also did something stupid last week, when one of th disks on the Amanda
machine filed up wiht hodling files. I deleted tehm :-(
So today I finally rreplaced the disk. Unfortunatly amrecover seems to not
be able to find the index files for these disks :-(
Here is what amrecover has to say:
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p1. Contacting server on kodiak ...
220 kodiak AMANDA index server (2.4.2p1) ready.
200 Access OK
Setting restore date to today (2001-08-04)
200 Working date set to 2001-08-04.
200 Config set to DailyDump.
200 Dump host set to kodiak.
$CWD '/local' is on disk 'c0t1d0' mounted at '/local'.
200 Disk set to c0t1d0.
No index records for disk for specified date
If date correct, notify system administrator
Invalid directory - /local
amrecover> setdate 2001-06-01
200 Working date set to 2001-06-01.
No index records for cwd on new date
Setting cwd to mount point
amrecover> setdate 2001-07-04
200 Working date set to 2001-07-04.
No index records for cwd on new date
Setting cwd to mount point
Now, I _do_ find in directory:
/opt/amanda/var/amanda/DailyDump/index/kodiak/c0t1d0
The following files:
20010516_0.gz 20010520_1.gz 20010524_1.gz 20010528_1.gz 20010601_0.gz
20010517_1.gz 20010521_1.gz 20010525_1.gz 20010529_1.gz
20010518_1.gz 20010522_0.gz 20010526_0.gz 20010530_1.gz
20010519_1.gz 20010523_1.gz 20010527_1.gz 20010531_1.gz
The last of which seems, from the size, to be for a level 0 dump:
rw------- 1 amanda operator 387095 Jun 1 08:50 20010601_0.gz
So, could some kind soul sugest how I could recover the data for this, and
the other disk (it's on a second machien, and exhibits similar behavior).
Do I have to use amrestore? I have never used that before, but if it's what
I need o do, I'm more than willing to lear how. amrecover has alwyas been
able to restore my disks in the past. Albeit that I have never waited
_months_ to do so.
Could some kind soul take pity on a total idiot?
