I checked the wiki and Google and couldn't find an answer. How do I restore from files on a holding disk if the dump has been split across multiple chunks on the holding disk?
I have the following files: alva._home.4 alva._home.4.2 alva._home.4.4 alva._home.4.1 alva._home.4.3 alva._home.4.5 I can restore from alva._home.4 using amrestore as normal: amrestore -p alva._home.4 | tar xvf - But that's obviously only part of the backup. If I try to concatenate all of the files together, as the wiki suggests when using amrestore to restore from a tape: for i in `ls -1 alva._home.4*`; do dd if=$i >> wholedump.0; done then run amrestore on wholedump.0, amrestore successfully processes the data corresponding to alva._home.4 then gives the following errors: tar: Skipping to next header gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error What's the correct procedure for restoring from holding disk files in this case? Thank you. Josh Kelley
