Hi all- I am in the process of testing some recovery using dump versus switching to gnutar and wanted to begin by using amrestore against a tape volume in my tapeserver. The test file is a binary debian package of opera wich was on hdb1 on the desktop.
The way I read the man page for amrestore is that I issue a command like this somewhat: amrestore -p /dev/nrmt9 seine rz3g | restore -ivbf 2 - I replaced the /dev/ line with my /dev/nst0 and "seine" with homebase and then I replaced the rz3g with hdb1 and piped restore as it shows. I also checked to make sure I had the correct entries in my /etc/services file on the client system and I do. As I type the command in, I cannot even access /dev/nst0 on the tapeserver by issuing the command: amrestore -p /dev/nst0 homebase hdb1 | restore -ivbf 2 - The answer I get is simply that the device /dev/nst0 does not exist. I rewound the tape drive using mt -f and it works quite well. Since I felt this could be something around networking and hostnames, I checked my /etc/hosts file and I have an entry for homebase and I can backup to homebase using amdump every other night. amrestore works on the tapeserver quite well. Is there some other file I need to edit like a config file to make amrestore work remotely? I believe I have networking up correctly.
