I've got a redhat 8.0 box running amanda 2.4.4, backing up a redhat 7.3 box also running 2.4.4. Both boxes are using ext3 as the filesystem, and both have tar 1.13-25. I am using the file drive to perform backups to disk. The backup for the 7.3 box has become very large, approx 30GB. Now, after some time not testing that backup, I need a restore. I tried using amrecover, and things go along all right until I descend into the file system to where I wanted to restore from and then things just stop, eventually I quit out of it, I pasted the tail end of the amindexd below.
I am thinking that things are dying as a result of this friggin huge file, I am able to restore just fine from a smaller backup on a different machine. I am currently trying to just get at things using tar, not having great results. Part of the probably may be the hardware I'm running on, the amanda box is an old PII 400 with IDE drives, gzip beats it up pretty hard. Anyway, to make a long story longer, is it realistic for me to be able to get a recovery from a backup file +30GB? Please CC me on any replies as I seem to have gotten unsubscribed and I'm having issues getting resubscribed.
