Hello everyone!
I am having a bit of trouble using amrecover and am hoping that someone can
see what is going wrong.
As root, I run amrecover, then select a few files to test restoring. This
is what I get:
sbs|amvr: /home/amv > amrecover Gemini
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on sbs ...

If I access the tape using mt and dd, it reads fine:

sbs|amvr: /home/amv > dd if=/dev/rmt0.1 bs=32k count=1

And so on.
Here is my system info in case it's needed:
Hardware: IBM RS/6000 H80
OS: AIX 4.3.3.0
Amanda: 2.4.2p2
My disklist entries:
sbs /home gemini-store
sbs /u02/OracleBackup oracle-data-full
sbs /u01 oracle-app-full
sbs /gemini/disk4/stbkup gemini-store
My dumptypes:
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
index yes
record yes
program "GNUTAR"
}
define dumptype oracle-data-full {
global
comment "Full dump of this filesystem always"
compress none
priority high
holdingdisk no
dumpcycle 0
}
define dumptype oracle-app-full {
global
comment "Full dump of this filesystem always"
compress client
priority high
exclude "./oradata/oracle"
dumpcycle 0
}
define dumptype gemini-store {
global
comment "Backup of Gemini EOD Store files"
compress client
priority high
dumpcycle 0
}
Sorry for the long message, I just don't want to omit any relevant
information.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated!!
Thanks!
