Hi folks,
I'm trying to help someone do a restore from a dump that is split into multiple "chunks" in holding disk files. In this case, flushing to tape first is not an option. I thought amrestore could do it, but then I read the manpage and didn't see a way to do it.
The only way that I could think of doing it is to use "dd" to strip the amanda header off the chunks and then concatenate them together into one, huge file. The filesystem on the holding disk is XFS so the filesize should not be a problem.
Is there an easier way to do this? The files are ufsdump being restored to a Solaris machine, but the holding disk files are on a Linux box which does not support ufsrestore.
Thanks, --jonathan
