Hi, I'm finding some oddities with trying to restore anything that was backed up from a Solaris host. My amanda backup server is running Red Hat 7.3, with their amanda packages, compiled from RPM (2.4.2p2-7). The Solaris boxes are running amanda 2.4.2p2, compiled from source, with the following options:
/configure --without-server --with-user=backup --with-group=daemon --with-index-server=ironwood --with-gnutar=/usr/local/bin/gtar --with-readline=no What happens is that no matter where I run amrecover from (be it the Solaris box that was backed up or the backup server or another Linux box), I only see a few directories/files available for restore. For example, on the Solaris box, in the level 0 gnutar-lists file, it shows all the directories on the system. A backup report shows approximately 4Gb being backed up during that full backup. But, if I run amrecover, there's only a smidgeon of that visible: # /usr/local/sbin/amrecover IU13 -s juniper -t juniper AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on juniper ... 220 juniper AMANDA index server (2.4.2p2) ready. 200 Access OK Setting restore date to today (2002-12-12) 200 Working date set to 2002-12-12. 200 Config set to IU13. 200 Dump host set to newt. $CWD '/' is on disk '/' mounted at '/'. 200 Disk set to /. / amrecover> ls 2002-12-04 export/ 2002-12-04 opt/ 2002-12-04 usr/ There should be all the files and other directories there as well (like /etc, /bin/, etc.). The only pattern that I can somewhere ascertain is that the three above directories all contain files that are have a longer filenames: /export/home/myer/lmbench-2alpha12/BitKeeper/other/BitKeeper/etc/SCCS amrecover> ls 2002-12-04 s.logging_ok-staelin-at-hpli8.hpli.hpl.hp.com-2 OR /opt/sfw/mysql-3.23.33-sun-solaris2.7-sparc/sql-bench/Results amrecover> ls 2002-12-04 ATIS-Adabas-Linux_2.0.35_i686-cmp-adabas,mysql So where are the other files and directories? The only thing that has changed is that the index-server option I passed to configure when I compiled amanda on the Solaris box is no longer valid (i.e its not ironwood anymore, its juniper) but I thought that specifying amrecover with -s would override that. The logs on the backup server would indicate that indeed, it did backup 4Gb of data. Any ideas? I've looked through the logs but nothing is jumping out at me. Running amrecover from the Solaris host and setting "sethost" and "setdisk" to a Linux server and parition respectivly shows me everything backed up on that server. So its very specifically a problem with running amrecover anywhere and trying to restore a Solaris box to anywhere. Thanks, Kevin -- Kevin M.
