Hello, Thank you to everyone that has replied so far, but I still dont have it working 100%.
Here is where I am. I have everything compiled and installed correctly (I believe). I can run amcheck w/o error. I can run amdump just fine. I see all the correct gnutar/gpg/gzip processes and amanda writes something to tape correctly. The issue is that I am unable to restore. If I attempt to restore from tape, it finds the dump and then errors like so: archivehost:/tmp# amrestore -p /dev/nst0 hostname /tmp | tar tvpf - amrestore: 0: skipping start of tape: date 20020219 label CheckTape0 amrestore: 1: restoring hostname._tmp.20020219.0 gzip: stdin: not in gzip format archivehost:/tmp# As I stated yesterday if I take the gpg.debug file in /tmp on the host I am archiving I can extract it perfectly with no problems. somehost:/tmp/amanda# gpg -d --homedir=/var/backups/.gnupg/ -r [EMAIL PROTECTED] /tmp/gpg.debug | tar tvfp - You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "asdfg (asdf) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" 1024-bit ELG-E key, ID 16B3ABDC, created 2002-02-15 (main key ID ED601E09) drwxrwxrwt root/root 113 2002-02-19 15:57:06 ./ drwx------ backup/backup 64 2002-02-19 16:03:24 ./amanda/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 13036 2001-10-23 12:19:04 ./t -rwxr-xr-x root/root 462408 2001-10-23 12:16:28 ./tar -rw-r--r-- root/root 16 2001-10-23 12:24:00 ./test -rw-r--r-- root/root 5013128 2001-10-23 16:15:04 ./test.tgz -rw------- backup/backup 2096 2002-02-19 16:03:24 ./amanda/amandad.debug -rw------- backup/backup 291 2002-02-19 16:03:24 ./amanda/runtar.debug -rw------- backup/backup 1251 2002-02-19 16:03:24 ./amanda/sendbackup.debug -rw------- backup/backup 1186 2002-02-19 16:02:57 ./amanda/sendsize.debug somehost:/tmp/amanda# So what I for the life of me cannot figure out is why does the gzip wrapper script redirect its output to /tmp/gpg.debug, and why is that not getting on tape? If that is not getting on tape then what is? Thankyou again in advance. Andrew
