You can't use amrestore to directly read the dump from a vtape, use
something like:
amrestore -r file:/backup/tapepools/DailySet/DailySet-69
For that I would have to point the data-link to the needed tape? That
is something I actually wanted to avoid :)
or : amtape CONF label DailySet-69
amrestore -r file:/backup/tapepools/DailySet
It is a lot easier to use amfetchdump:
amfetchdump CONF tobak012.intern.backup.muessi.de /etc 20140128003001
That command obviously needs human interaction and has to be run as
user backup?
Newer version have a '-a' option that do not needs human interaction.
backup@tobak012:~/hoehoe$ amfetchdump DailySet
tobak012.intern.backup.muessi.de /etc 20140128
1 volume(s) needed for restoration
The following volumes are needed: DailySet-69
Press enter when ready
I want to avoid that too.
So far running amanda-2.6.1 I used to autorestore via
amrestore -p tobak012.intern.backup.muessi.de |tar [option] - ./
which is rather fine in running automatically, unattended and with no
need of an amanda-Database.
As I understand, amrestore so far only has been a wrapper for dd
if=<file> bs=32k skip=1?
Why has this simple functionality been changed?
It is a lot more that a simple dd.
No offense, just wondering :)
