It finally happened. My trusty old Toshiba Tecra completely lost it
this morning - just a blinking amber on light, no screen, no prompt, no
beeps. So I'm trying to pull the files off amanda and get them onto my
other PC - a Dell - but I'm running into a problem. I have a feeling
it's because I was encrypting the dumps on the clients. Any help
appreciated!
I'm running Amanda 2.6.1p1 and I had three boxes
Amanda Server running Ubuntu 8.04
Toshiba Tecra running Ubuntu 9.10
Dell Inspiron running Ubuntu 9.10
My amanda.conf for the backups for the Toshiba are in laptops:
org "laptops" # your organization name for reports
mailto "mlb" # space separated list of operators at your site
dumpcycle 1 week # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 7 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
# (1 week * 5 amdump runs per week -- just weekdays)
tapecycle 14 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation
# 1 week (dumpcycle) times 5 tapes per week (just
# the weekdays) plus a few to handle errors that
# need amflush and so we do not overwrite the full
# backups performed at the beginning of the previous
# cycle
runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump
tpchanger "chg-multi" # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "S3:" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
device_property "S3_ACCESS_KEY" "Somestuff"
device_property "S3_SECRET_KEY" "Moresecretstuff"
changerfile "changer.conf"
#changerdev "/dev/sg1"

holdingdisk hd1 {

use -1000Mb
}
holdingdisk hd2 {

}

Here's my disklist

mlb-laptop.imparisystems.local /home/mlb/ImpariSystems encrypt-simple

So I try to get onto my Dell to recover the files from the Toshiba. On
the Dell, I do the following:
sudo amrecover -C laptops
AMRECOVER Version 2.6.1p1. Contacting server on ubuntu.imparisystems.local ...
220 ubuntu AMANDA index server (2.6.1p1) ready.
