Hello everyone,
please advice...
I have two servers. One for production and second as backup.
Both have streamers that read LTO tapes.
On these servers I have installed Suse 9.0 and amanda from rpm package.
When I do backup with amanda on production server , then I can restore it on the same production server without any problems.
But when I try to restore it on backup server I got message that backup is not dump or tar type (I understand these issues and do dump backup)
The same is on backup server. When i do backup on it, then I can restore on localhost, but can not restore on production server (the same messages)
These restors are not by network, then local restoration from streamer...
Maybe this is some issue with encryption? Maybe rpm package was compiled with it? I dont know how to check it ...
Does anyone has any ideas???

Is it a dump image or is it gnutar image?

There is no substitute for learning. But for Open Source software
at least you're not bound by the details that the vendor publishes.
