Hi all, my backups are running quite well since I joined the amanda users about 6 weeks ago. Furthermore, I tried to recover some of the stored data using amrecover 3 times since I started using amanda. There were no problems at all.
Now I *need* to recover a file and I'm running into problems. Starting amrecover, I get the following lines: fily01:/usr/local/etc/amanda/Oslo # amrecover AMRECOVER Version 2.4.4. Contacting server on fily01 ... 220 fily01 AMANDA index server (2.4.4) ready. 200 Access OK Setting restore date to today (2003-05-30) 200 Working date set to 2003-05-30. 501 Index directory /data/amanda/var/Oslo/index does not exist amrecover> The question is, why does amanda complain about the /index folder? It does exist, containing nothing but two directories with the names of the two clients backep up. Those contain more directories with the disks backed up and these finally got a couple of .gz files in it. My amanda.conf file reads as follows: infofile "/data/amanda/var/Oslo/curinfo" # database DIRECTORY logdir "/data/amanda/var/Oslo/" # log directory indexdir "/data/amanda/var/Oslo/index" # index directory and all the directories do exist. When I'm trying to set the disk unsing the setdisk command, I get 501 Must set config,host before setting disk and trying sethost produces amrecover> sethost fily01.local 501 Must set config before setting host. Trying host fily01.local ... 501 Must set config before setting host. Trying host fily01 ... 501 Must set config before setting host. which doesn't make sense to me because the config is set to Oslo by default. The same problem arise if I'm calling amrecover defining all the necessary parameters (amrecover -C Oslo -s fily01.local -t fily01.local) The debug files show the following lines fily01:/tmp/amanda # less amindexd.20030530012956.debug amindexd: debug 1 pid 9137 ruid 505 euid 505: start at Fri May 30 01:29:56 2003 amindexd: version 2.4.4 amindexd: time 0.001: < 220 fily01 AMANDA index server (2.4.4) ready. amindexd: time 0.002: > SECURITY USER root amindexd: time 0.002: bsd security: remote host fily01.local user root local user amanda amindexd: time 0.002: amandahosts security check passed amindexd: time 0.003: < 200 Access OK amindexd: time 0.038: > FEATURES fffffeff9ffe0f amindexd: time 0.039: < 200 FEATURES fffffeff9ffe0f amindexd: time 0.078: > DATE 2003-05-30 amindexd: time 0.079: < 200 Working date set to 2003-05-30. amindexd: time 0.118: > SCNF Oslo amindexd: time 0.123: < 501 Index directory /data/amanda/var/Oslo/index does not exist and fily01:/tmp/amanda # less amrecover.20030530012956.debug amrecover: debug 1 pid 9136 ruid 0 euid 0: start at Fri May 30 01:29:56 2003 amrecover: stream_client_privileged: connected to 127.0.0.2.10082 amrecover: stream_client_privileged: our side is 0.0.0.0.932 amrecover: pid 9136 finish time Fri May 30 01:33:12 2003 Could someone please help me? I think I went through all the files (which I didn't touch since the last successful recovey) but didn't find a hint what the problem could be. Thanks in advance for your help! Markus
