Hello, I am wondering whether or not I should be using symbolic links for "data" in my tapeless setup. I am currently able to run "amdump" but not able to successfully run "amrecover"?
Within my amanda.conf tapedev file:/backups Directory Structure /backups/01 ... /backups/20 When I go to run amdump I just point "data" to the next tape in line. $ln -s 06 data $amdump DailySet1 I have recently seen some docs where the data directory is actually created within the tape. /backups/01/data Which of these methods are best for a tapeless backup setup? How does this affect how I do "amrecover"? I am currently having trouble with "amrecover" and am not sure what I should be using for "settape". I have tried using the following: ln -s data 02 (then within amrecover) settatape host:file:/backups/02 or settatape host:file:/backups I have not had luck either way. I receive this error. ~~~~ Extracting files using tape drive file:/backups/02 on host srv1.testing.com. Load tape DailySet102 now Continue [?/Y/n/t]? y amrecover: error reading tape: Connection reset by peer extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 ~~~~~ Thanks so much for your help. drew
