I was trying to restore a backup without the Amanda, here's what I did: # mt rewind # mt fsf 1 # dd if=/dev/rmt/0mn bs=32k skip=1 | tar xvf - (it's backed up by gtar)
It seems like I got all the saved files/directories, which were being extracted.. but they were organized differently. The diretories it created looked like: '7550524305 7450414032', and tons of them. It's hard, if not impossible to access these directories to retrieve the files that I wanted. Here is a little background information: -Backup Server, Solaris 8, Amanda 2.4.2-p2 -Client, FreeBSD 4.5, Amanda 2.4.2-p2 -Tape, DLT IV Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks. -andy
