It depends. Most restore programs (including GNU tar) have an option

Hi,
I compiled about 4 years ago on SunOS machine.
Now I want to transfer the SCSI tape to a Linux
machine (Mandrake 7.2). I've compiled amanda 2.4.2p2,
copied tapelist from the old machine, and created the
disklist and the config file (amanda.conf). When I try
to run amcheck, I get the following
Never had to do a complete file system restore
so forgive the naivety of this question.
If one restores from a full backup plus
one or more daily incrementals, files that
were deleted after the full backup would
be retained during the restore. Correct?
I mean, the daily incrementals don't track

Give the following patch a try. It won't fix anything, but will sort
out the debug file lines so you can tell which process is doing what.

The advfs patch did the trick. Thanks for the rapid responses!

We don't run HACMP here, but I talked with our AIX guru a few minutes
and, depending on an infinite number of variables :-), he thinks Amanda
should work fine.

If I understood your question correctly, yes.
In (very) general terms, it gathers estimates for a full dump, the
same level as last time and (sometimes) the next level. Then it uses

The short answer is "no".
The longer answer is that this is harder than you might think. In the
general case, Amanda would have to send the image b

Hi,
I've trouble with my Seagate Scorpion 40 (DDS4) on a Linux box. New
cartridges (Sony DGD150P) are not recognized. The tape is loaded

Thanks for the help and the invaluable tools. I managed to get the
