Re: Restoring a client root partition

Hi, the steps to do are (i think, correct me someone if I'm wrong) 1.) have a rescue-disk/cd with a minimal linux-system that supports your network-hardware, and the amanda-client utilities needed for restore. 2.) boot with this medium, 3.) configure your networkinterface to be able to

Re: Restoring a client root partition

I use the Super Rescue CD to do amanda restores. It's basically a Redhat 7.0 installation on a single CD. It includes the normal Amanda tools and ssh. You just boot up the system with the CD, get the networking going, and then use SSH and Amrestore to bring the data over from the amanda

Proper procedure for archiving tapes

Hi, Amanda's been running smoothly for months now. It uses 6 tapes to back up our network. I was thinking it's about time to take a snapshot of the network, and preserve the current 6 tapes, and start using a new set of 6. The old ones can be an off-site backup. Here's what I was thinking of

Re: [OT] SDT-5000 DDS2 Tape drive

Just a suggestion, having never seen a SDT-5000, can you do a status just after you've written it, and see what density code it thinks it is? You might need to set the density (mt setdensity on Linux) before you can read the tape(?!?) On Wed, 22 Aug 2001, Matteo Centonza wrote: Date: Wed,

RE: Solaris 8 Server hangs during backup

Bill, Thanks for your reply. We have done some more investigation and have determined that the problem is with sendbackup. It does ufsdump | sed | ufsrestore. When this starts it takes the CPU to 100% and stays there. The performance monitoring soon quits updating. Log messages indicate that
