Can someone help me out on how to restore
amanda.conf from tape? I can't see any way to do it.
Basically: on the amanda server
$ cd /tmp
$ mkdir restore-tmp; cd restore-tmp
# we restore in a safe place so that we don't overwrite
# anyting useful
$ su # we need to be root to restore
# now insert the correct tape (you do have tapelabel?)
# with a recent level 0 (or some incremental if you
# know it is there)
# if not look through the mail reports to find
# a recent level 0 of the "server /disk/entry"
# You may also zgrep the index-files manually.
# mt -t /dev/st0 rewind # each time you make a mistake in
# next (two) commands:-)
# eventually do "mt fsf ..." to speed up the restore
# amrestore -p /dev/nst0 servername '/disk/list/entry$' |
gtar -xpvf - ./path/to/amanda.conf
# Note that the disklistentry is a pattern, not a string
# use "restore" instead of gtar if you make backups with dump
