I have (on another system) tar (GNU tar) 1.13 but I do not know if this will allow dump and restore properly.
I see in the amanda page that the format of -t is different then expected and causes issues with amrecover, but if I run amrestore I can render that a non-issue for my site. Does anyone know if this version of gtar is sufficient for amdump and amrestore to work properly ? ** This gtar is apparently from the Sun freeware kit. thanks, Brian On Fri, May 18, 2007 at 02:52:50PM -0400, Brian Cuttler wrote: > On Fri, May 18, 2007 at 01:47:47PM -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > On Fri, May 18, 2007 at 02:32:13PM -0400, Brian Cuttler wrote: > > > > > > Sorry, hate to ask this, but one of my DLE's has outgrown the > > > tape drive and I want to divide it into multiple TAR-DLE entries > > > but I'm having trouble finding an installable version of gtar > > > that is a correct version for Amanda and my OS. > > > > > > I'm running Solaris 9 and believe that I should use one of > > > gtar 1.13.19, 1.13.25, 1.15.1 per > > > > The 1.15 series is preferred; see > > http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Installation#Dependencies > > Newer being better, but is there a binary available that I can > install on my Solaris 9 system, if so, where can I download it from ? > > > > Unfortunately the box is being a FW, and the replacement system > > > with the new (much larger) tape is not online yet. > > > > I'm not sure what you mean? > > Alternatives to tar would be backing up from a different server > or using the new tape drive on the replacement platform, both > options being prohibited for various reasons.
