I am trying a test amrestore of some files after amanda has run for a bit on a RedHat 8.0 system with an HP DDS-3 6-tape changer. The backups are fine, as are the automatic tape changes; I can get at all of my backups manually with dd and tar. However, amrestore is not happy.
The details: I'm using amanda 2.4.3 compiled locally (no RedHat RPM for me). 'tapedev "0"' appears in amanda.conf since I'm using a changer. The changer config file has only one changer entry in it, and has the lines changerdev /dev/sg3 scsitapedev /dev/sg3 dev /dev/nst0 amidxtaped.*.debug reveals that amrecover, when used, exec's "amrestore -h -p 0" followed by the usual remaining arguments. Of course this fails, since there is no file or device named "0" which amrestore can get at. So, what's wrong? I've checked the mail archive as carefully as I can and cannot find a similar question. -- Stephen Walton, Professor, Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Northridge [EMAIL PROTECTED]
