Greetings;
After last nights run, I thought I'd see if it was using the new versions of
things, but the only routine of those that do report in their debug files
what version they are, is the runtar I copied out
of /usr/local/libexec/amanda/runtar and put in /usr/local/libexec.
Everything else

Greetings all;
I had something zero out the partition table on my boot drive about 2 weeks
ago, and had to reinstall from scratch, but put fedora 8 on. Then I used dd
to recover the last full backup of /home and used that to rebuild and
reinstall 2.5.2p1. I'm still using that version of amreco

Sorry for the non-amanda topic posting.
Disaster recover, i.e. bare metal restore,
is not one of amanda's strong points.
For those using Solaris, I came across an
interesting article on sun.com/bigadmin
about using 'flash archives' for disaster
recovery.
http://www.sun.com/b
if you are running a redhat machine or fedora you have:
kickstart.
This will automate everything

Thanks Joshua.
I figured that is what is needed in order to recover my backup server. I'm
familiar with Tivoli Disaster Recovery.
Thanks again.

Well, keep in mind that you only need to buy the disks after your

I don't use index files at all. In case of disaster, I expect to have
to get a new machine and tape drive, with tons of disk, and put each
tape in, reading it from start to finish (streaming) and just write
each file to disk. Then, I'll be looking for the most recent 0 of
each fs, and the most re
Hi, I'm just starting to figure out Amanda and I have a few
questions, hopefully not too stupid.
My main goal is disaster recovery for a few servers, which
to me means having the most recent complete set of backups

dump cycles
Hello,
we like to have a more reliable, fast and easy way to do a disaster recovery
with amanda.
For this we have done two things, which you find both in the appended
document:
- write a (less tested) disaster recovery guide
- start plannings for a specialized amanda disaster recovery

hi. If you're running Linux and want to buy a disaster recovery cdrom

Or to a MO/Zip/ORB disk. You just have to

It may not be "vital" for the backups to save the index, but I insist on

That's a part of the taper rewrite work to be done. It will provide
for a "File-1" that is written at the start of each tape and a "File-N"
that is written at the end of each tape. What you put in them will be
up to you, but the Amanda confi
