Alpha-tar is usr/local/alpha-tar/bin/tar --version tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25 Here is my problem. I am trying to back up several directory, the directory structure is tarred but several subdirectories are empty or missing files. For example I am trying to backup the following directory: (from disklist) db1 /oracle/oracle1/app/oracle/admin user-tar doing a df in that directory on the remote box, I get this: df /oracle/oracle1/app/oracle/admin/vault /oracle/oracle1 (/dev/vx/dsk/oracle-1): 348244 blocks 514315 files These are the contents of the directory. bash-2.05a# ls -l total 10 drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 512 Apr 30 2001 bdump drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 512 Aug 8 2000 cdump drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 512 Aug 8 2000 create drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 512 Aug 8 2000 pfile drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 1024 Jun 13 10:55 udump Amrecover from the remote machine is able to get this far, but when I ls using amrecover into say the directory bdump I get this: amrecover> ls 2002-07-16 . 2002-07-16 alert_vault.log but when I do an ls on the actual directory I get this: bash-2.05a# cd bdump/ bash-2.05a# ls -l total 115728 -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 58869186 Jul 16 12:11 alert_vault.log -rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 319959 Apr 30 2001 vault_ora_16897.trc It never backs up the vault_ora_16897.trc file. I've added the backup user to the root, bin, and dba groups thinking it was a permission thing. I don't see any errors in the amanda debug files. I'm wondering why Amanda is just randomly missing files. Anyone else have this same problem? Any work arounds. ________________________ Jose L. Rivas
