Greetings! I'm having a bit of difficulty and I haven't yet found any info in the list archives that has helped me to solve this problem.
I'm currently attempting to copy the contents of a 35GB DLT-IV (DLT7000) tape over to an SDLT-320 tape. The DLT-IV tape is not readable on my SDLT drive, and contains some old Amanda backups that I would like to be able to access after we get rid of our DLT-IV drive. I am attempting to copy from one tape to another using dd, and getting the following results: [15:37:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/local0/tmp# dd bs=32k if=/dev/rsa1 of=/dev/rsa0 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 32768 bytes transferred in 1.628442 secs (20122 bytes/sec) The return is instantaneous, and obviously this copy is not working. I no longer have the amanda logs or index files for this tape. Are there other options I could perhaps try with dd? I have managed to extract backup images using amrestore, although I do need to grab them by individually specifying the host and disk, otherwise it will repeatedly extract and overwrite the first image on the tape like so: [15:46:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/local0/tmp# amrestore /dev/rsa1 amrestore: 0: skipping start of tape: date 20030303 label MONTHLY002 amrestore: 1: restoring atlas._var.20030303.0 gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored amrestore: 2: skipping start of tape: date 20030303 label MONTHLY002 amrestore: 3: restoring atlas._var.20030303.0 gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored amrestore: 4: skipping start of tape: date 20030303 label MONTHLY002 amrestore: 5: restoring atlas._var.20030303.0 With all of the backup images successfully restored, is there a way that I can use amflush to copy these to a different tape, even though I don't have the index files and logs? Could I use amrestore -r and then dd the raw output onto the new tape? Thanks for any ideas/assistance that anybody can provide! -- Joshua D.
