Hi There, I'm not so worried about the data, im just testing backing up to multiple tapes at present.
I've retrieved using the following; sudo -u backup amfetchdump up localhost /upbackup which has given me 2 files; -rw-r----- 1 backup backup 1350349324288 2010-05-07 03:11 localhost._upbackup.20100430113529.0.0000001 drwxr-xr-x 2 backup backup 108 2010-05-06 20:03 . -rw-r----- 1 backup backup 649939222528 2010-05-06 19:47 localhost._upbackup.20100430113529.0.0000020 Unfortunately I ran out of space on the device I was restoring the dumps to at this stage; Merging localhost._upbackup.20100430113529.0.0000020 with localhost._upbackup.20100430113529.0.0000001 Error writing fd 7: No space left on device amfetchdump: Error copying data from file "localhost._upbackup.20100430113529.0.0000020" to fd 7. Does this help at all? as it read the 2nd tape does this mean the data is on the tapes and it's a problem with amrecover? Also for future ref, do I actually need around 1.5* the space of the DLE to do amfetchdump? (to include the merging..) I'm going to try now using plain gzip instead of pigz, just incase this is causing my issues. Thanks for your help so far. Regards, Mark On Wed, May 05, 2010 at 10:16:50AM -0500, Dustin J.
