Hi! After my first succesfully try with amanda I've been changed my disklist to adjust them not for filesystems but for the important directories I want to backup. In this case amcheck says the following:
NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/furv/curinfo/xaloc/_.notesini: does not exist NOTE: index dir /var/lib/amanda/furv/index/xaloc/_.notesini: does not exist NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/furv/curinfo/xaloc/_.recursosBD: does not exist NOTE: index dir /var/lib/amanda/furv/index/xaloc/_.recursosBD: does not exist NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/furv/curinfo/xaloc/_.namesBD: does not exist NOTE: index dir /var/lib/amanda/furv/index/xaloc/_.namesBD: does not exist NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/furv/curinfo/xaloc/_.mail: does not exist NOTE: index dir /var/lib/amanda/furv/index/xaloc/_.mail: does not exist NOTE: info dir /var/lib/amanda/furv/curinfo/xaloc/_.aplicacionsFURV: does not exist NOTE: index dir /var/lib/amanda/furv/index/xaloc/_.aplicacionsFURV: does not exist
Should I suppose that amanda will create the necessary directories and files when needed although it not indicates " NOTE: it will be created on the next run"? or I must to do this "by hand"?
The man page of amcheck isn't clear about this ...
As many others have already answered, these will be created by Amanda.
- comment : - /.xxxxx are softlinks to every directory or file I want to backup
If you are saying that all of the paths you tell Amanda to back up are soft links, you have a big problem. All that will be backed up are the links themselves, not the directories they point to. Also, disklist entries are usually directories or partitions and not files, but if you are using GNU tar I suppose passing it a filename instead of a directory would work (anyone here know for sure?).
