Hi, I'm trying to restore from one machine onto another - The backup was created on a linux box running 2.4.4p1 and the backup runs fine from what i can tell.
If i transfer one of the tapes from the autochanger and put it into a different machine with another tape drive attached and try and restore i get the following. $ amrestore -p /dev/nst0 xxxxxx /u05/backup/export | tar xfp - amrestore: 0: skipping start of tape: date 20031210 label xxxxxx01 amrestore: 1: skipping xxxxxx._u05_archive.20031210.0 amrestore: 2: skipping xxxxxx._u05_backup_rman.20031210.5 amrestore: 3: restoring xxxxxx._u05_backup_export.20031210.0 gzip: stdin: not in gzip format Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 32768+512, wrote 0 amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file. [EMAIL PROTECTED] amanda]$ The odd thing here is that the restore works fine on the machine that made the backup. They are both running the same version of RedHat and Amanda. One drive manufacturer is HP and the other is Sony. What i don't understand is why the error points to a gzip type error when the backup was created using tar without compression and the extraction syntax does not mention that the archive should be gunzipped? Anyone with any thougts? thanks
