Hi all,

I've been using Amanda v2.5 for years an switched to v3.3.6 on freshly installed FC21 server and all clients (SLES11) a few days ago. My configuration contains the definition

define dumptype my-dump {

    global
    auth "ssh"
    ssh_keys "/var/lib/amanda/.ssh/id_rsa"

    program "DUMP"
    index

    priority high

    compress client fast
}

and disklist entry like

foo.bar.com /home1 my-dump

Backing up works like a charm, but now I tried to restore a directory from foo.bar.com:/home1 locally on my server:

# amrecover -C daily

AMRECOVER Version 3.3.6. Contacting server on 10.2.19.3 ...
220 amanda AMANDA index server (3.3.6) ready.

...

amrecover> sethost foo.bar.com

amrecover> setdate 2015-03-20

amrecover> setdisk /home1

amrecover> add ako

amrecover> lcd /tmp/amanda

amrecover> extract

Extracting files using tape drive changer on host 10.2.19.3.
The following tapes are needed: daily-23
                                daily-2

Extracting files using tape drive changer on host 10.2.19.3.
Load tape daily-23 now
Continue [?/Y/n/s/d]? y
Restoring files into directory /tmp/amanda
All existing files in /tmp/amanda can be deleted
Continue [?/Y/n]? y

set owner/mode for '.'? [yn] y

And this is where my trouble begins! Some files have been successfully restored, but my response "y" is not processed. I see some zombie processes in the process table. Pressing Ctrl-C terminates the entire restore. I don't really care too much about the permissions, but "amrecover" didn't pick the second tape!


Redo the restore with amrecover, but skip (s) the level 0 backup and extract only the level 1 backup.

Kill the dump process instead of amrecover when it ask to set owner/mode.

First I tried with my password-less SSH setup, which worked fine in the past, later I switched to "bsdtcp", but this doesn't make any difference.

What's the problem and - even more important - what can I do?

Best regards,

Michael.
