Hi!
I deleted the /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists directory unfortunately,
but I have the backup files.
Is it possible to recreate the files in the gnutar-lists directory
from the backup files?
Hello Gábor,
this is my cron job on every host using gnutar to survive in case of
accidental deletion or modification:
# Backup of --listed-incremental files for GNU tar
32 15 * * * tar cf gnutar-lists_amandates.tar amandates gnutar-lists
Just for the first time:
(umask 077; touch gnutar-lists_amandates.tar)
For your case: use your backup to recreate the gnutar-lists directory
and Amanda / GNU tar will backup using this state.
