Parallelized restores?
After restoring a workstation with several drives from a total of 5 different tapes, and each filesystem being on at least two of them, it occurred to me that there *has* to be a better way to restore multiple filesystems. Ideally, I'd like to see a system where a user could browse an entire host's contents with amrecover or a close derivative, select as many files as desired, then: 1) amrecover would collate a list of every tape needed to recover every selected file, 2) amrecover would prompt for each one in turn, as it currently does, with the exception that it would extract files for every relevant filesystem stored on that tape, in order Example: A user has 4 tapes, and backs up /, /usr, /home, and /var on a given host. / is on Tape1 and Tape4 /usr is on Tape2 and Tape4 /home is on Tape1, Tape3, and Tape4 /var is on Tape4 1) amrecover (launched from the host's root directory) would prompt for Tape1, and would extract the contents of / and /home from that tape. 2) It would ask for Tape2, and would extract /usr. 3) It would prompt for Tape3, and would extract /home. 4) Finally, it would prompt for Tape4, and would extract /, /usr, /home, and /var. This would be a radical improvement over the current process, as implemented by me last week: 1) cd /; launch amrecover; insert Tape1; insert Tape4 2) cd /usr; launch amrecover; insert Tape2; insert Tape4 3) cd /home; launch amrecover; insert Tape1; insert Tape3; insert Tape4 4) cd /var; launch amrecover; insert Tape4 Does this seem like a workable possibility? P.S. If it already exists and I missed it, I am fully prepared to dine on my cap. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: help restoring...
Yes! Thanks that did it. The files are being restored using restore -r -f It seems strange that the interactive mode of restore spit out those error messages. Any ideas???

It is unlikely that this actually happened for *all* files, though, and probably not the content of cron.daily. So this looks like bad news. What happens when you 'restore r' the whole thing?

help restoring...
Hi, here is the setup: solaris 8 acting as the amanda server, and a linux client with ext2/3 filesystem. I have done an amrestore to get the nescessary file, that went well. I tried to use ufsrestore to examine this file, the seg faulted, I nfs mounted the the directory where amrestore placed the file and then used linux restore to access the contents of the file, I select all files to be restored and then did the extract.. here is where the problem is. restore -ivb 2 -f penne._.20030310.0 now I can see the files, and select them all. I keep getting the error message for all of the files: ./etc/cron.daily/tripwire-check: (inode 1889691) not found on tape the directories get created... what gives? --bash

I presume you mean this calculation as it is the only error I detect. estimated = wait for dumping + dumping to tape + dumping + dumped + (dump) failed 13 = 2 +0+6+ 4+ 0 i.e. 13 = 12.

amrecover failure, corrupted gzip file?
Hi -- Running Amanda 2.4.4 servers and clients, using a RedHat 7.3 tape host, backing up using DUMP method (dump/restore) ext2 filesystems on a RedHat 7.2 client host: I tried to do an amrecover on the /home filesystem (~8 GB), which recovered all of the directories (as expected) and about 2/3's of the actual data before terminating with a message asking if I wanted to change volumes (which I stupidly forgot to cut and paste, and can't find in any of my scrollback buffers, sorry). Then prompted for aborting, then whether or not to dump core, the terminated. Nothing particularly unusual in the amrecover debug file on the client side. The corresponding amidxtaped debug file on the tape host side seemed to be running normally, then terminating on a gzip error: amidxtaped: time 10.959: Ready to execv amrestore with: path = /usr/local/sbin/amrestore argv[0] = "amrestore" argv[1] = "-p" argv[2] = "-h" argv[3] = "-l" argv[4] = "LSX-13" argv[5] = "-f" argv[6] = "2" argv[7] = "/dev/tapex" argv[8] = "^whisper$" argv[9] = "^/home$" argv[10] = "20030315" amrestore: 2: restoring whisper._home.20030315.0 gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset -2147483648+131072, wrote 0 amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file. amidxtaped: time 3606.244: amrestore terminated normally with status: 2 amidxtaped: time 3606.244: rewinding tape ... amidxtaped: time 3623.767: done amidxtaped: time 3623.768: pid 5140 finish time Thu Mar 20 11:11:19 2003 I was able to recover the raw file from tape using dd, i.e. dd if=/dev/tapex of=./label-x bs=128k count=1 which recovered: AMANDA: TAPESTART DATE 20030315 TAPE LSX-13 Then: mt -f /dev/tapex asf 2 dd if=/dev/tapex of=./label-2 bs=128k count=1 which recovered: AMANDA: FILE 20030315 whisper /home lev 0 comp .gz program /sbin/dump To restore, position tape at start of file and run: dd if= bs=128k skip=1 | /usr/bin/gzip -dc | sbin/restore -f... - I did that, and was successful in recovering the file from tape: -rw-r--r--1 msimpson msimpson 2872049664 Mar 20 13:20 whisper_home_0.gz I tried to do the pipe to "restore", with a failure similar to the above.

What are you confused about? When using tar (as your dumptype is), a
diskdevice can be any directory. So, actually, the disknames in your DLEs
are redundant. For such a situation, I just do:
hostname /home/foo dumptype
hostname /home/bar dumptype
> What happens if i write
> exclude /home/*
> include /home/foo

For those types of entries, your diskdevice would need to be the same over
multiple DLEs:
hostname /home/foo /home {
normal_backup
include ./foo
}
hostname /home/bar /home {
normal_backup
include ./bar
}
I think part of what you're missing is that if you put an include in your
dumptype, it overrides the default include *. Puzzle over the included
example disklist -- it took me a while, but I finally grokked
include/exclude/etc by looking at that and amanda(8).
Good luck.

I ran out of space on one of my ccd filesystems and therefore configured it to use other devices for free space... this seems to be correct (the system is up and running), but since the change amanda fails to back up the data on the ccd. afaik everything is the same, except the mountingpoint of the filesystem, as described in /etc/fstab: /dev/ccd0a /usr/database ufs rw 1 1 there used to be: /dev/ccd3a /usr/database ufs rw 1 1 Can anyone give me any pointers as of where to start looking for mistake?

I know, > I'll send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from my home > email address, even though I don't want to flood my slow > home connection with a bunch of mailing lists..." honestly...just give up this garbage. Even if you post when you aren't subscribed, you STILL have to read the following posts through a gateway (or whatever) to determine if they are related to YOUR post. There is no difference: do it through a web gateway, or do it through you mail user agent. If you say "but they CC me" then I will say that that is fortunate for you, but not guaranteed (some people insist on this, and some people hate it -- welcome to mailing lists). Stop expecting other people to shoulder your burden. If you can't subscribe before you post, then you shouldn't friggin' post. Arrgh this is annoying. What is so hard to understand? It's a cooperative venture for LOTS of people, not one provided for your benefit. Sorry, I will shut up now.

Re: Pornography
Warning: bullshit rant follows. Delete at will please, totally off topic.

Thank you for injecting some sanity. Sorry, I get carried away. I'm strongly opinionated about spam. In one sense, it's just the same as any old salesman coming up to you in a store: something you have to learn to deal with if you agree to live in a capitalist society. In another sense, it's junk I want to get rid of. I don't personally mind the spam; I've calculated that it only takes me six seconds per day to delete the spam (it's all very easy to identify; I get about 30-50 per day). What bothers me is when people post to the list and say that the list should be moderated, or that someone should be doing post filtering on every single list, rather than the end recipients doing UCE filtering (however they want to implement it), which covers ALL their mail. Spam is everyone's problem, and when people try to insist that someone else should take care of it for them, I really take offense (although I should not, admittedly). Especially when they bully someone else with threats of legal action, and "threaten" to disjoin the list. Good riddens...if censorship and oppression are a good tactic for government recipients, then get the hell off our community list. Sorry, I'm just a lurking, rare poster, but I've been doing this for a number of years and it really bothers me when someone takes this free, volunteer assistance for granted and tries to make it live up to their rules. They might be accustomed to having anti-porn rules shoved down their throat, but that's their CHOICE to work for such an entity, and they have no business forcing it down MY throat, or any other list recipient. I just get ornery when this happens; sorry to fill your inbox with even more junk, but I feel that it's important to point out since this same lesson carries over to innumerable similar lists.
RE: Pornography
I hope they don't search for the word Pornography, or they are going to be really happy with the spam in our list in the few last days :) Please, could you stop with the discussion with cc to the list?

Moreover you have to configure this parameter in your amanda.conf amrecover_changer "glopglop"# amrecover will use the changer if you restore and to lauch amrecover -d glopglop to make amidxtaped use the changer.
