Hello! My Amanda server is running 2.4.3b4. Three days ago I upgraded the operating system from FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p6 to 4.7-RELEASE-p9. This is really just some security patches to sendmail, libc and openssl. Since the upgrade Amanda thinks that all the backup tapes that were written before the upgrade are "not Amanda tapes".
After I re-label the tape, Amanda agrees to write the backup to it and also I can successfully amrestore it later. But it seems that, should the need arise to restore from a pre-upgrade tape, I would be in trouble because those tapes are 'not Amanda tapes'. I suppose I could still read the dump images with dd, though? Over the last couple of years I've done many OS upgrades on this Amanda server and this is the first time I see such problem. Has anyone else seen it? -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * It's always darkest right before you step on the cat.
