and the same server did a succesful restore so it seems that if the
client version of dump is higher than the server the restore barfs
however the opposite appears to give a good restore -
Looks like i'm going to have to install myself a new server box with
dump 0.4b39 so get around this - Unless anyone has any other suggestions?
thanks
OK - I have managed to resolve this issue. I had to install a newer
version of dump that was higher than the client version and then
re-compile amanda so that it picked up this new version of dump.
It appears that dump/restore is a bit picky regarding version numbers -
the client version must be the same or lower than the server version
otherwise restores may not work.
thanks
