Any docs within reach on best/fastest/easiest Restore of backed-u p system?
I am able to backup any file that I got on tapes. I was wondering if any of you had a quick write-up on the best way to restore a disk that has completely crashed. I'm trying to restore a Linux RedHat 7.3 system and have a full backup. However, I've seen different things on the Internet as to how to do this. I was looking for something related to Amanda and this group gives some good insight/advice when it comes to backup/restores (Yes, I'm sucking-up =0)). Please send step procedures you may already have handy on system crash restore and (if possible) also steps/recommendations for migrating hard drive to large one. I haven't been on this list for a while, but I know this question gets asked a lot. I appreciate any help with this. Thanks!!! -Regards, __ Gibran C. Marquez [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
New client to Amanda dump returns RESULTS MISSING???
Any reason why Amanda is stating that the results are missing for newly added client. This client is probably my only FreeBSD so far to disklist. I did a df on tgs-1 (client) and added file systems I wanted, next I added them to config disklist.

RE: New client to Amanda dump returns RESULTS MISSING???
Yeah I kind of figured it was going to turn out to be something like this. Seems to actually be on the client side. What I found is that this FreeBSD system had a previous version of Amanda, both server and client packages. (amanda-2.4.3b2 beta???) Is there an easy way to UNINSTALL Amanda? I need to do this because well first of all this isn't a server anymore and it was set up as user operator, and all my other clients are using amanda user. I'd like to completely uninstall everything server/client and then install a new version (amanda-client-2.4.3-4) with user as amanda. Any suggestions, recommendations??? -Regards, Gibran Marquez -Original Message- From: Martin, Jeremy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 10:58 AM To: Gibran Marquez Subject: RE: New client to Amanda dump returns RESULTS MISSING???
