-

- 200 Config set to alpha1.
- 200 Dump host set to alpha1.xxx.xxx

- Ok.. here is the directory listing of /RAID/alpha1 on intelraid1:
-
- drwx------ 2 amanda amanda 4096 Dec 3 10:58 20011121
-
- And inside 20011121/ :
- -rw------- 1 amanda amanda 3925999616 Nov 21 11:12
- 192.168.1.3._dev_sda3.0

- obviously, I just did a dump onto the holding disk here because we have 100
- GB of RAID space to utilize so a tape drive just seems pointless. I'm
- pretty sure indexing is off, I don't know how to turn it on at least. My
- indexdir in my amanda.conf file is set to /usr/local/etc/amanda/alpha1.
- Can someone just tell me either (1) how to get this to work like it should
- or (2) how to use amrestore properly to get this to work? It's not
- imperative that I use this backup archive. The computer still works great
- and everything. I just need to make sure I can recover the files properly
- so if I have to turn on indexing or create another dump.. it's not a
- problem at all. Thanks for any help.
What I so is add indexing to my global dumptype and reference that in
sucessive dumptypes:
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
index yes
}
define dumptype user-tar {
global
program "GNUTAR"
compress none
priority medium
}
