I seem to have managed to (through sheer stupidity on my part) gottrn
myself into a place that I don't know how to recover from.
Here is a bit of history. Soemwhere around the early part of June, I shut
down all teh computers on my home network (which get backed up daily using
Amanda). I did this because I needed to move everything around for carpet
cleaning. The I decided to leave them down for a while. Somewhere around
the first of July, I decided to bring them back up. At this time I
discovered that I had lost 2 (thought it was 3 at the time) disks. One of
these is on the Amanada server.
I had friends coming for the 4th, and then I had to go out of town to help
my parents ove. So I just quit feeding the tape drive tapes, under the
asumption that I had good backups for these disks on the existing tapes.
One day last week I discovered that one of my disks on the Amanda machine
was full. Seeing that it was Amanda holding files, I deleted them (stupid
probably).
In any case, today I replaced the disk on the Amanda machine, and was going
to restore it from the Amanda backups. However, when I fired up amrecover,
I got:
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
I have never used amrestore befor, only amrecover. However I am hoping that
I can get out of this mess using amrestore. Or perhpas someone can tell me
what I'm doing wrong (besides being a lazy idiot!). In directory:
/opt/amanda/var/amanda/DailyDump/index/kodiak/c0t1d0
(The machine and disk in question), I have the folowing 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
So. I'm thinking thta the last good backup was on June 1. Judging by the
size:
-rw------- 1 amanda operator 387095 Jun 1 08:50 20010601_0.gz
I would think this is a level 0 backup.
I tried seting the date to 20001-06-01 in amrecover, but it still said no
index records.
How can I recover the data fro this disk?
And thanks for helping out a lzy idiot!
