Hi all:
I've been backing up my system with amanda for the last week, and now
I'm doing the acid test: I'm trying to restore the backup to my laptop
computer, having upgraded to a larger disk. The backups seem to go
fine, according to the reports I've been getting. However, the restore
isn't going so well. I boot the laptop with tomsrtbt, having hacked
/etc/services to include the amanda, amandaidx, and amidxtape services.
Are the last two necessary?
When I start amrecover on the client, I get the following:
# amrecover -s {server} -t {server} -d {tape}
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2ps. Contacting server on {server} ...
amrecover: amandaidx/tcp unknown protocol
Note that if I don't include all the switches above, it tries to contact
itself instead of the server. Have I screwed something up here?
One item to note is that I do *not* have inetd running; tomsrtbt doesn't
include it by default. There is a small amount of space left; on my
system, /sbin/inetd is 21K; if it doesn't need anything else, perhaps I
can include it. Will that solve my problem?
Thanks in advance,
John
