I've just finished setting up amanda here, and am making sure I know how to do full-volume restores with amrestore before "disaster" strikes and I _NEED_ to know. That said, I'm running into a problem: I have a level 0 dump of a filesystem from one server, and am trying to restore it to a different server (same model and drive config/partitions as the original) I am using amanda 2.4.4 with gnutar (and a SDLT160, if that matters) on Solaris8. When I run:
# rsh -n dcsunbackup.ncb.com /usr/local/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/rmt/0cn dclawson.ncb.com '\^/sybase\$' | tar t from the client, all of the files returned are listed under numerical directories, for example: 07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/ctdrvlib.loc 07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/ctlib.loc 07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/dblib.loc 07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/defncopy.loc 07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/isql.loc 07674121412/./locales/us_english/mac/libdna.loc 07674121413/./locales/us_english/mac/libinsck.loc 07674121413/./locales/us_english/mac/libsdna.loc 07674121413/./locales/us_english/mac/libsri.loc 07674121413/./locales/us_english/mac/libtli.loc The disklist entry for this filesystem is as follows: dclawson.ncb.com /sybase user-tar And the dumptype is straight from the amanda defaults: define dumptype root-tar { global program "GNUTAR" comment "root partitions dumped with tar" compress none index exclude list "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar" priority low } define dumptype user-tar { root-tar comment "user partitions dumped with tar" priority medium } The exclude file is currently empty. So, where are all these directories coming from, and more importantly, how can I make them go away? Thanks for your help, Jon Sippel
