tape host is solaris and one client running linux

2001-06-01 Thread Denise Ives

I can restore all images/files backed-up via the solaris box but 

Tape Host
SunOS sundev1 5.8 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

Client
Linux 6.2

I can restore all files on my Sun box.
However, Amanda generates a core file every time I try to restore back-ups
of the client.

Oh.  Well that explains everything.

You can't do that.

Dump format is system-dependent.  You can't read a Linux dump image on
a Solaris system (or vice versa).  You'll have to do the restore on the
Linux system.

If you don't want to restore the file in place, just cd to a different
directory before running amrecover (or use lcd when inside amrecover).
