(and somehost is not the real hostname, k?)
I got this advice from amrestore:
EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file on backup.int.somehost.com.
And, well I can't find said debug file.
here is how I got to this impass:
Using the 242p2 version allowing backups to disk directories
Once a day backup.int.eclipsemedia sucks down files to /backup/tape/tX.
(Todays target for this e-mail t3)
And in /backup/tape/t3 sits:
t3/data:
00000-backup03
00000.backup03
00001-web.int.somehost.com._etc.0
00001.web.int.somehost.com._etc.0
00002-backup.int.somehost.com._etc.0
00002.backup.int.somehost.com._etc.0
00003-web.int.somehost.com._usr_local_etc_apache.0
00003.web.int.somehost.com._usr_local_etc_apache.0
00004-web.int.somehost.com._var_spool_imap.0
00004.web.int.somehost.com._var_spool_imap.0
00005-web.int.somehost.com._root.0
00005.web.int.somehost.com._root.0
00006-web.int.somehost.com._database.0
00006.web.int.somehost.com._database.0
00007-web.int.somehost.com._ww1.0
00007.web.int.somehost.com._ww1.0
00008-TAPEEND
00008.TAPEEND
backup#
And in 00005.web.int.somehost.com._root.0 is the files I want. I can get
them with a lop off 32K bytes from the front and guntar. But I'd rather
use amrecover.
So on web.int.somehost.com I type:
amrecover -C backup -s backup.int.somehost.com
AMRECOVER Version 2.4.2p2. Contacting server on backup.int.somehost.com ...

Ideas on how I can track this down?
