RE: backing up only local filesystems
Perhaps you are concerned that Amanda treats the local system the same as the others and that the traffic may be going down the network stack and getting looped backed up? Why are you worried about this? More and more unix software is built this way (X windows for one), so why should we be worried that Amanda works this way also?

Re: backing up only local filesystems
I found out what the problem was.. after checking things in archives and other mailings, I noticed references to amandad and client, I checked my install again and i did not have the client installed!!! I installed the rpm file and the amcheck ran fine however, why did not amcheck complain about this to begin with!!! Anyway, I did a small backup to tape and now am having trouble restoring I am using tar and this is the restore command and it says it cannot find the file when I know it was there... Is this correct? amrestore -p /dev/nst0 SERVERNAME / |gtar xvf - etc/hosts amrestore complains it cannot find the file... - Original Message - From: Albert Hopkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Monday, August 4, 2003 2:48 pm Subject: Re: backing up only local filesystems On Thu, 2003-07-31 at 11:45, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hello, I only want to back up local filesystems...

Because even for local backups, amanda is a client, taking orders from amanda the server. The fact that they are on the same machine is of relatively little importance to amanda. -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.

But you might try restoring ./etc/hosts, I think that is how it is indexed. -- Jon H.
