Hello all, I've been trying to set up "amrecover" for retrieving lost data from our backups. It works great, I only have one issue I can't seem to resolve...
All installed amanda clients and server are version 2.5.1p3, installed on FreeBSD 5 and 6. When using amrecover to retrieve files it can read all the generated index files, with the exception of 3 clients, where amrecover cant read the index files. The weird thing it only fails for the index files of level 0 backups for the /usr filesystem. It can read level 1 and 2 backup index files without a problem, it can also read level 0 index files of different partitions. As shown in the exaple below: (Of course I checked if the index files were generated, all works fine, backup runs, index gets created, amrecover reads it all, except /usr of level 0 backups... ----QUOTE---- srv06# amrecover DSK AMRECOVER Version 2.5.1p3.
