in regards to my earlier message "need help urgently!!!" i am able to use amrestore to read the tape, it goes through the various files, however i can't get it to extract anything, when i originally made th tapes i just used plain old compression with tar "comp-user-tar" or something like that
when i run the command amrestore -p /dev/nst0 filezzz /var | tar -cV restore.tar it starts to read through the tape, it finds the directory i'm looking for, but then it stops and i can't get it to put the file on my hard drive, obviously i am running the wrong command can anyone help me out here and tell me what command i should be using? thanks On Thu, 18 Jul 2002, Carlos White wrote: > my server just lost a drive > > this drive contained just about everything > > i have been doing backups with amanda for some time right now, and a few > restores, but that was when my backup info was on the server, i have had > to reinstall from scratch on to a new drive, amanda is on it and running, > but i now need to restore some data, i just need the info in the mail > spool and everything in the /home folder > > can someone out there help me use amrecover to get it back, or am i just > going to have to attempt to do a no amanda restore > > all help will be greatly appreciated, and the sooner the better > > thanks >
