Hello,
I have a question related to restoring without amanda.
According to the docs, the method is just :
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
dd if=/dev/nst0 bs=32 skip=1 | tar xv -
but when I use the tar (yes, it's gtar, really) it complains
that the file is not a valid archive. I can restore files using
amrecover successfully... but not without amanda.
While I'm not opposed to having an amanda installation
laying around on a hard drive, I'd much rather be able to
do without it during crunch time. :o)
Any insights/suggestions? Anyone else run into this?
Thanks in advance,
Jer
