Windows domains...
We've recently been 'upgraded' to a Windows domain, part of this upgrade appears to have involved removing the local amanda account from each Windows server. Is there any way of getting amanda to auth using domain logon? I've tried the following varients in amandapass (with the resulting error from amcheck below, oh and yes that account does exist on the domain and has the password set) but no joy, any suggestions welcome!

RE: Restoring windows partition written using smbclient
Another one for you maybe?
Although I think this one might just be a case of it not going to work
like this and needing to change it...
DLE:
autonomy.deanst.rroom.net /mnt_f/Websites
comp-root-tar-win
>From amanda.conf
define dumptype comp-root-tar-win {
root-tar
comment "Root partitions with compression"
compress client fast
index
#exclude list "/var/lib/amanda/exclusions.txt"
}
So I'm doing this (and version of it):
# /usr/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/nst0 autonomy.deanst.rroom.net
'/mnt_f/Websites' | gtar --numeric-owner -xpvf -
And get
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 32768+32768, wrote 0
amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!! - jc

Restoring windows partition written using smbclient
I'm trying to restore the contents of
AMANDA: FILE 20060601 orinoco.deanst.rroom.net
//tlswindev1.deanst.rroom.net/e$ lev 0 comp .gz program
/usr/bin/smbclient
However I don't know how to get this off the tape into a usable format.
It was generated from the DLE
orinoco.deanst.rroom.net//tlswindev1.deanst.rroom.net/e$
comp-root-tar-win
And from amanda.conf
define dumptype comp-root-tar-win {
root-tar
comment "Root partitions with compression"
compress client fast
index
#exclude list "/var/lib/amanda/exclusions.txt"
}
I need to restore it to the amanda server as I'm still trying to
reinstall 'tlswindev1' after its only disk (yes, I know, when its
replaced I'll be insisting on RAID) died last night, and I can't afford
the network traffic (the dump to tape should be about 30GB).
Any suggestions much appreciated!
Thanks, John

I've just started following the isntructions on the site to get this working, but it suggests I should be installing ALL of the stuff in devel. This seems rather a lot, is this really the case or just slightly old documentation and there is now a shorter list of stuff I need to install? Thanks as always, John

OK, thanks for that, it makes sense! And thanks to Jon for the dd
suggestions etc...
I've now dd'ed off the header of that back up and got:
AMANDA: FILE 20060519 autonomy.deanst.rroom.net /mnt_f/Websites lev 0
comp .gz program nttar
To restore, position tape at start of file and run:
dd if= bs=32k skip=1 | /usr/bin/gzip -dc | ttar -f... -
Which confirms what you're saying. I had a quick google for nttar and
the first hit was to a Win 32 client project on SourceForge from back in
2001! So it looks like there is some arcane backup client on this
windows server. Might be a good time to upgrade to something more
current!
Any suggestions? - I know its poossible through samba, cygwin etc, but
in people's experience, what's the best way of backing up Windows?
Thanks,

Windows clients
Having been reading the documentation (chapter 6 (Restoring) of the
official docs inparticular) I've got restores working for the Linux
hosts ok, deciding that restoring on the server then moving the restored
file to the client for extracting being the favoured method. However
I've now started trying to do the same on some Windows hosts and its not
playing ball.
There's no Cygwin on the client, nor is it using samba (DLE below)
autonomy.deanst.rroom.net /mnt_c/Autonomy
comp-root-tar-win
And the dump type
define dumptype comp-root-tar-win {
root-tar
comment "Root partitions with compression"
compress client fast
index
}
As far as I can see there is some sort of amanda client installed on the
windows machine, that lives in c:\usr\amanda
Listing of that dir (if its any use to anyone):
C:\usr\amanda>dir
Volume in drive C is SYSTEM
Volume Serial Number is 54A9-A4D6
Directory of C:\usr\amanda
12/04/2006 12:44 .
12/04/2006 12:44 ..
03/03/2006 13:2524,064 amanda_svc.exe
12/04/2006 12:44 etc
12/04/2006 12:44 925 install-service.cmd
12/04/2006 12:44 libexec
2 File(s) 24,989 bytes
4 Dir(s) 3,028,369,408 bytes free
To restore it I'm using
amrestore /dev/nst0 autonomy.deanst.rroom.net '/mnt_c/Autonomy$'
Which returns
amrestore: 13: restoring
autonomy.deanst.rroom.net._mnt__c_Autonomy.20060518.1
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 32768+32768, wrote 0
amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file.
So, does all this make sense to some one out there, or seeing as I don't
know how this client was installed or from what, maybe someone can
suggest a better way of getting amanda to back this machine up? There
are quite a few hosts being backed up with samba too, but I'd like to
get away from samba if possible to reduce all those 'strange' errors in
the backup reports.
As always, any help gratefully received!!
Thanks, jc
Runspercycle?
Hi list, I've got a no brainer for you, what is runspercycle? I've rtfmed but the explanation just dones't make sense to me. At the moment I've got Dumpcycle 4 Runspercycle 1 Tapecycle 10 Its set up so it runs every Mon-Thurs night and we have two weeks worth. I've noticed that it appears to be doing level 0 on everything every night, pressumably because it's a 400GB tape and the total data that's backed up at the moment is considerably less. Is there any way of forcing amanda to only do the level 0 once and grab incrementals the rest of the time, I thought I'd set it up like this, but something is obviously wrong somewhere... Thanks, as always! john

Ahh, I may be starting to see the light (I hope). The client is W2k3
server. This means then that I need to use amrecover on that server to
restore from the tape? - rather than trying to use Linux tools on the
server to restore a Windows directory...

Moving on from this a little though, I've used an existing dumptype
(from before I started here) and if I try to restore anything I get the
following message:
===
% /usr/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/nst0 autonomy.deanst.rroom.net
/mnt_f/Websites | tar -xvf -
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 32768+32768, wrote 0
amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file.
===
The DLE:
autonomy.deanst.rroom.net /mnt_f/Websites
comp-root-tar-win
And the dump type:
define dumptype comp-root-tar-win {
root-tar
comment "Root partitions with compression"
compress client fast
index
}

Backing up sub directories and interactive restores
I've previously seen Amanda installed in such a way that you could run
something like
amrestore -p /dev/nst0 host /filesystem | restore ivf -
Which gives a basic shell on the tape so you can restore individual
items. I understand that this was possible because comp-root backup had
been used on an entire filesystem, as I've tried on a sub-directory (as
is needed here) and it returns an error which google lead me to a post
on zmanda explaining comp-root can only be used on filesystems.
So, with the current set up its using comp-root-tar:
define dumptype comp-root-tar {
root-tar
comment "Root partitions with compression"
compress client fast
index
exclude list "/var/lib/amanda/exclusions.txt"
}
Is it possible to restore from this backup interactively or is it only
possible to untar the whole dump from this particular DLE, then take
what I want then discard the rest?
If its not possible to do it interactively can anyone suggest a way of
backing up a subdirectory on a filesystem then restore particular files
from that backup?
Many thanks,
john

The background to this one is it seems every time a new sys ad starts they install their own flavour of OS, so we've got various versions of RH, some BSD, Solaris, Windows. Most of the clients have been installed, and its now at the point where they're nearly all working, except the FreeBSD one.

FreeBSD client
Some of you might remember I'm piecing together a previous, non-working, installation of amanda. The help I've received off here has been great, so thanks again! The next piece in this puzzle is a FreeBSD (5.4) machine that appears to have amanda already installed. I can't find any documentation on getting the client working on BSD so started going by all the information I've gleened troubleshooting the Linux machines here. I can't find a .amandahosts file, do I need to create this and if so where? Or should this information go somewhere else? I assume /tmp/amanda should exist on the machine and be writable and ownder by operator:operator (operator being the default username the client seems to install by, and operator being BSD's equiv of 'disk' group), is this so? Thanks, john

OK, another client that was already installed this time. I've checked through the client's config, file ownership, xinetd config etc and it all appears to be right (based on my previous postings), it was installed as 'amanda' so this user is the same on the server and client. When I ran amcheck the first time I received 'amandad busy', so checked on the client and found: amanda8755 0.0 0.2 2192 748 ?S11:43 0:00 amandad amanda8756 0.0 0.2 1948 748 ?S11:43 0:00 /usr/lib/amanda/selfcheck amanda8757 0.0 0.0 00 ?Z11:43 0:00 [amandad ] If I kill these processes it returns WARNING: hermes.deanst.rroom.net: selfcheck reply timed out. but then the above processes are, once again, present. /tmp/amanda/selfcheck.[date].debug reveals selfcheck: time 0.006: checking disk /data selfcheck: time 0.010: device /data selfcheck: time 0.010: disk "/data" OK selfcheck: time 0.010: amdevice "/data" OK selfcheck: time 0.010: device "/data" OK selfcheck: time 0.011: checking disk /etc so what could be causing the selfcheck to fail checking /etc... any ideas?

Was xinetd restarted after editing that file?
What if you remove the "only_from"-line for a test (and restart xinetd)?

make sure that /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts is owned by amanda and
the group is set to disk "chown amanda:disk
/var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts"
Sorry, yes, it was infact owned by amanda:disk, the line I posted was
from one of the 'lets just change something and hope it works'
attempts I was having...
...
It should be owned by the user the runs the amanda software.
It seems that is "amandabackup" in your setup.
Anatomy of the errormsg:
access as amandabackup not allowed
from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: cannot open /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts:
Permission denied
"amandabackup" is the local user
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is the [EMAIL PROTECTED] that tries to connect.
And the errormsg is that the local user "amandabackup" has no
permission to read/access the file .amandahosts .
So try:
# su amandabackup -c "cat /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts"
and fix those permissions.

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check

from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: cannot open
/usr/amanda/etc/amanda/.amandahosts: Permission denied
The user "amanda" should be able to read that file. (and the all the
upper directories too).
Just checked, 'everyone' has access to that file and its parent
directories...
Not "everyone" but specifically user "amanda" needs to have access
(yes there is a difference). ("...access as amanda ")
Try this as user amanda, not just looking at the permissions.
Thanks guys for all the info, I've just found out though that apparently
there's a strange client installed on that machine which apparently
doesn't work, so I've switched to backing up via samba and it seems ok. ;-)

Client check: 1 host checked in 0.002 seconds, 1 problem found finn is a Windows server, and as far as I can see the client is setup the same on this as on another windows machine that is backing up ok. Its got 'amanda' and 'amanda_backup' as users of the machines, amanda is installed in c:\usr on both. There's a .amandahosts file on both with the same in: orinoco x.x.x.x orinoco.internal.domain.com x.x.x.x This seems to imply that "x.x.x.x" is an ip-number. No it is not. The second item on the line is the "remoteuser" (defaults to local user if empty). Yes, sorry, my bad, it is infact orinoco amanda orinoco.internal.domain.com amanda not sure where I got the idea it was an IP address from! Thanks, jc

Any ideas anyone? Thanks, John
