hello again,
I'm trying to am-recover some datas, and I
get the following problem when I run amrecover :
[tape-server]$ amrecover -C conf -s tape-server
amrecover> sethost backup-client
amrecover> setdisk /the/disk
Scanning /the/holdingdisk ...
20010328: found Amanda directory. (*)
20010416: found Amanda directory.
200 Disk set to /the/disk
amrecover> ls
(*) these directories are empty.
problem:
the 'ls' command only shows me a very small part
of what is supposed to be backed up, I mean only a
few directories & files out of hundreds.
more details:
- the directories & files that are shown do not
seem to have something special or common attributes.
- amanda report didn't show anything wrong,
it even shows a good full backup yesterday.
- problem is the same if I run amrecover from
the backup client
- the backup server also backs up some disks that it owns;
I get no trouble when using amrecover on these disks.
- I think that the 'hidden' files are indeed on the tape:
the gnutar-lists on the client do show them fully,
and the following command :
[tape-server]$ ./amadmin conf info backup-client /the/disk
Dumps: lev datestmp tape file origK compK secs
0 20010502 TAPE4 4 2172930 2172960 1666
1 20010503 TAPE5 3 24980 24992 20
... shows well-filled tape for level 0.
So, why is amrecover hiding files?
thanks,
Pierre.
