backup images
Sorry for not understanding the question the first time. Now I've read
it again, and I understand you want *two* hosts (any disk, any date)
from the tape.
In that case you need to specify a triple (hostname, diskname, date)
for each host. Each entry of these three is a pattern. The shortest
pattern that matches anything is the empty string. Use an empty
string as placeholders for 'any-disk' and 'any-date', like this:
ammt /dev/nst0 rewind
amrestore /dev/nst0 \
inventory.mumbai.redhat.com '' '' \
oscar.mumbai.redhat.com '' ''
(amrestore command all one one long line)
Actually, because all three parameters are patterns, even the
hostname, and because you may omit disk and date, as long as you don't
mess up the triple-ness (i.e. you may omit them on the last triple only)
you could type this too:
ammt /dev/nst0 rewind
amrestore /dev/nst0 'inventory*' '' '' 'oscar*'
(and now it fits easy on a line too).
Not that, if you happen to have a host called 'oscar2.mumbai.redhat.com'
that will be restored too. Use a pattern like 'oscar\.*' in that case.
Any help
I hope it helps this time :-)
