RE: amrecover question.
Sometimes the files you're recovering are on a tape that's no longer in the changer, so you must manually insert it into the changer and mount it to a drive before telling amrecover to continue. I think it would be nice if Amanda could mount the tape automatically without asking you, if it knows that the required tape is already in the changer. Can it already do this, or will it be a feature in a future release? Ray -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McGraw, Robert P.

RE: amrecover question
I want to thank everyone slapping my hand for not reading the manual pages
first.
After I sent the email I did go to the doc and found
the information about the new .amandahosts. I corrected my .amandahosts file
that fixed this error.
Now when I try to run amrecover I get the following

I have tried to look for the error on google and in the zmanda documents but I
do not see anything.
I am running Solaris 10 which does not use inetd.conf file. Here is the info

Re: amrecover question
Hello, These directions are assuming that you are still running 2.5.0 on the server side: 1. As root run amoldrecover homes -s dalston.blackshaw.dyn.dhs.org -t dalston.blackshaw.dyn.dhs.org 2.

Re: amrecover question
Jeff, Please check if .amandahosts and xinetd service files are set up correctly. Please note that upgrading from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1 requires changes to .amandahosts and xinetd files. This is required if you are using bsd authentication. See http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Configuring_bsd/bsdudp/bsdtcp_authentication For compatibility with old protocol and configurations, amoldrecover command is available.
