Hi
Testing a restore on the above config i have found this error. Backups
run fine but this is the error when trying to do a restore on it -
Anyone seen it before as i have not come accross this - Restore is being
attempted NOT on the same server that did the backup

Tom,
What OS and dump version was the data backed up from? What OS and dump version
are you trying to restore to?
In general, the dump type (xfsdump, vdump, etc.) and sometimes even the
version must be the same for backup and restore. This is an unfortunate
consequence of Amanda's use of

server that ran the backup
Linux 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp
dump 0.4b37
client that got backed up
Linux 2.6.9-22.ELsmp
dump 0.4b39
sorry to reply to myself here but on another test
client
Linux 2.4.20
dump 0.4b27
and the same server did a succesful restore so it seems that if the
client version
and i can confirm that even on the server that did the backup i get the
same garbage when trying to restore - Is the dump version difference the
issue do you think?
Well, if you're getting this issue on the original server, then version
differences are probably not the problem.
Amrecover
and the same server did a succesful restore so it seems that if the
client version of dump is higher than the server the restore barfs
however the opposite appears to give a good restore -
Looks like i'm going to have to install myself a new server box with
dump 0.4b39 so get around this
