accessing data from tape on fresh amanda system (disaster recover)
hi guys, in the process of getting a disaster recovery plan in place. additional to our night backups to tape ive set up a fortnightly full backup of our system again to tape that will be stored of site. my question is if the system running our amanda config is destroyed. could our externaly stored tapes be access on a fresh amanda system? sort of thinking if tapelist, and /var/lib/amanda index files are backed up it should be possible. is it possible? is there a better way? thanks shaun -- shaun feeley cytopia pty ltd 5th floor, baker institute tel (+613) 9522 6940 melbourne vic 3004 fax (+613) 9510 9291 australia web www.cytopia.com.au The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).

Re: still having problems with name resolution backup to disk >ofNT servers via samba
hi paul thanks for your suggestion when i connect to the NT server cytopia01 using smbclient and try and get a file i recieve the same error smb: \Administration\jill-andrew\jill-andrew\slide presentations\> get "ppslides complete.ppt" Call timed out: server did not respond after 2 milliseconds opening remote file \Administration\jill-andrew\jill-andrew\slide presentations\ppslides complete.ppt smb: \Administration\jill-andrew\jill-andrew\slide presentations\> Segmentation fault (core dumped) however i can connect to the server and browse directories fine. its confusing that although this share produces this error when i try and get a file the other shares with same permissions on the nt server will let me get files? with these shares i get the error NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND which i can reproduce if i try and cd into a directory with a space in the name without using "", so i thought it could be due to spaces in directory names but the other share thats not producing this error has spaces in names as well, so i dont really know.

still having problems with name resolution backup to disk >of NTservers via samba
ive been getting these errors for a couple of weeks now. last time i asked for help i was using ip's instead of host names in my disklist file. it was suggested that amanda was treating the ip's as host names and trying to resolve them, perhaps producing the errors i was getting. i have changed the ip's to full hostnames, but i am still getting the same errors? cytopia01 is a nt server, i am backing up three large shares off two separate disks on cytopia01. my amandapass file has the full host name, and the amanda username and password for connecting to the nt server. now i can resolve the host name fine. and i can smbmount each area fine and browse files? this error is just produced when running amdump ###amandapass file //cytopia01.intra.cytopia.com.au/shared amanda%password //cytopia01.intra.cytopia.com.au/users amanda%password //cytopia01.intra.cytopia.com.au/usershared amanda%password FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS: /-- william//cytopia01.intra.cytopia.com.au/shared lev 1 STRANGE sendbackup: start [william://cytopia01.intra.cytopia.com.au/shared level 1] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/bin/smbclient sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/usr/bin/smbclient -f... - sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz sendbackup: info end | session request to CYTOPIA01.INTRA failed (Called name not present) ?
