I found out what the problem was.. after checking things in archives and other mailings, I noticed references to amandad and client, I checked my install again and i did not have the client installed!!!
I installed the rpm file and the amcheck ran fine however, why did not amcheck complain about this to begin with!!! Anyway, I did a small backup to tape and now am having trouble restoring.... I am using tar and this is the restore command and it says it cannot find the file when I know it was there... Is this correct? amrestore -p /dev/nst0 SERVERNAME / |gtar xvf - etc/hosts amrestore complains it cannot find the file... ----- Original Message ----- From: Albert Hopkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Monday, August 4, 2003 2:48 pm Subject: Re: backing up only local filesystems > On Thu, 2003-07-31 at 11:45, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > hello, > > > > I only want to back up local filesystems... > > How can I bypass amanda from going through the > > network to backup the filesystem that are just > > local to the amanda server anyway? > > Am I missing something?
