Hi, I'm trying to test dump and restore, and I've been having problems with restore. I'm using a buslogin 930 controller and an HP DDS3 tape drive. Here are some examples of my restore problems:
freefall ~ $ sudo restore -x -v -f /dev/st0 lee/wav.old/clint.wav Verify tape and initialize maps Tape block size is 1 Dump date: Tue Aug 11 09:14:25 1998 Dumped from: the epoch Level 0 dump of /home on freefall:/dev/sda5 Label: none Extract directories from tape Initialize symbol table. bad name to addentry ./lee/wav.old abort? [yn] y dump core? [yn] n but if I do an interactive restore I can see the file: freefall ~ $ sudo restore -i -v -f /dev/st0 Verify tape and initialize maps Tape block size is 1 Dump date: Tue Aug 11 09:14:25 1998 Dumped from: the epoch Level 0 dump of /home on freefall:/dev/sda5 Label: none Extract directories from tape Initialize symbol table. restore > cd lee/wav.old restore > ls clint.wav 309253 clint.wav restore > add clint.wav bad name to addentry ./lee/wav.old abort? [yn] y dump core? [yn] n If I select the directory instead it works ok in the case: freefall ~ $ sudo restore -i -v -f /dev/st0 Verify tape and initialize maps Tape block size is 1 Dump date: Tue Aug 11 09:14:25 1998 Dumped from: the epoch Level 0 dump of /home on freefall:/dev/sda5 Label: none Extract directories from tape Initialize symbol table. restore > cd lee restore > add wav.old tore > ls ./lee: 4097 ./ 2 ../ . . . 309249 *wav.old/ 174081 work/ When I successfully extract the directory, the files have the correct permissions but the directories are owned by root. In other tests, selecting directories has failed with the bad name/abort message. The software is beta, is anyone using it successfully? Would anyone recommend BRU2000 or any of the other linux compatible commercial backup programs. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Alantro Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED]
