I am trying to recover from 2 of the disks in my server dying within 2 days of eachother. I have backups created from flexbackup but have 2 questions.
I don't have the index files - as it says in the faq I can still extract the files "The index files are for human convenience only. Just skip the first file on the tape, it's a simple "tag" text file. The rest of the tape is your normal archives." I was backing up to a firewire drive using afio and bzip. If I extract the files using: afio -ik root.0.20030706.afio-bz2 that works ok but all files in the created directory are still bzipped. And when I bunzip them I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]$ bunzip2 flexbackup.conf.z bunzip2: Can't guess original name for flexbackup.conf.z -- using flexbackup.conf.z.out is there any solution to get round having to bunzip and rename each file? I can write a script to do it but thought I would ask as I am unsure if there is maybe a better way to do it. Some of my backup files are > 2GB (only 2 of them) and my server was running linux redhat 7.3 (ie 2Gb limit) i took them over to my 64-bit solaris machine thinking I could unzip them there but to no avail - as these files were written on a 32bit system and are > 2GB are they useless?
