Okay, that was my mistake...I forgot you can't find individual files listed...just the disks
you wanted to do su amanda -c "amadmin <configname> find <clientcomputername> <disk>" ...that was my fault. So it looks like your last level 0 was to DMP004 on 11-23, has the file changed since then? Would it have been on the DMP005 or DMP006 tapes level 1? Can you cut and paste the output of amrecover? What version of gnu-tar comes with RH7.1? Can you do tar --version and tell me what you see? -----Original Message----- From: Axel Haenssen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 2:04 PM To: Rebecca Pakish Crum Subject: RE: file not found on Tape On Wed, 2002-11-27 at 13:54, Rebecca Pakish Crum wrote: > What do you see when you run this command as root: > su amanda -c "amadmin <configname> find <clientcomputername> ><filenameyouwanttorestore>" If I do su amanda -c "amadmin DailySet1 find node16 /home" I get Scanning /home/amanda... 20020620: found Amanda directory. 20020705: found Amanda directory. 20020706: found Amanda directory. 20020910: found Amanda directory. date host disk lv tape or file file status 2002-09-10 node16 /home 2 /home/amanda/20020910/node16._home.2 0 OK 2002-11-14 node16 /home 1 DMP007 14 OK 2002-11-15 node16 /home 2 DMP008 14 OK 2002-11-16 node16 /home 2 DMP009 14 OK 2002-11-19 node16 /home 2 DMP010 13 OK 2002-11-20 node16 /home 2 DMP001 13 OK 2002-11-21 node16 /home 3 DMP002 14 OK 2002-11-22 node16 /home 3 DMP003 13 OK 2002-11-23 node16 /home 0 DMP004 15 OK 2002-11-26 node16 /home 1 DMP005 14 OK 2002-11-27 node16 /home 1 DMP006 14 OK Amanda is set to backup the /home directory on this machine If I do su amanda -c "amadmin Dailyset find node16 /home/axel/boot.img" I get Scanning /home/amanda... 20020620: found Amanda directory. 20020705: found Amanda directory. 20020706: found Amanda directory. 20020910: found Amanda directory.
