Hi
I tried a to backup to multiple volumes.
The backup
part seemed to work okay (flexbackup -set test -volumes 2) even though was a
bit slow.
But when trying to restore it did not work.
I could
not find any special arguments I tried to restore 1 file that was on the sn2
tape.
It first had to read the whole tape (which is quite along time if
you know you need something of the 2nd tape.) and than it gave this error:
0 CONTROL_FILE/flexbackup.volume_header_info -- okay
afio: "-"
[offset 3739m+884k+0]: Fatal error:
afio: "-": Premature input EOF
|------------------------------------------------------------
At block
957408.
I guess there has to bee some extra option passed to mbuffer
or something?
I tried the same command on the sn2 tape:
flexbackup -extract
afio: "-" [offset 6]: Fatal error:
afio:
"-": Unrecognizable archive
Any idea how to restore it tape by
tape?
I know it is experimental but the restore does not seem to
work at all. The backup part ask nicely for the next tape. But I wonder what is
writen on the sn2 tape and how to get it back.
I prefer to beable to
just get a few files from it but a full restore is also fine.
My biggest
problem is that I only have a dds 2 tape streamer and I really want to backup
my whole system which probably need 10 tapes if I use compression. tar cannot
handle it and I could make a script that calculates the file size but that is
the uncompressed filesize.
help :-)
