Hi all!
We are using Amanda for backup a couple of years now and
it has never failed for us. But today I encountered something
really weird:
We have two servers in our internal network, hugo10 and hugo20.
hugo20 is the tape server and backup host. Backups are done
daily.
Today I tried to restore one particular file one of our developers
accidentally "lost". The disk in question is da0s1d on hugo20.
Of course, it was backed up last night. Level 1 dump, it seems:
hugo20# su -m operator -c "amadmin HAUSNETZ info hugo20 da0s1d"
Current info for hugo20 da0s1d:
Stats: dump rates (kps), Full: 1778.0, 962.0, 1566.0
Incremental: 1.0, 1.0, 1.0
compressed size, Full: -100.0%,-100.0%,-100.0%
Incremental: -100.0%,-100.0%,-100.0%
Dumps: lev datestmp tape file origK compK secs
0 20010530 HAUSNETZ-14 12 1734032 1734048 975

3 20010224 HAUSNETZ-10 3 362 384 48
But: the index file for that disk on hugo20 doesn't show any (!)
file having been backed up. And of course a lot of files
changed since 20010530 which seemingly is the last level 0 dump.
In fact all index files from 20010531 on are empty!
The time on the host is OK, timestamps on all file in question
OK, too.
I need some help on where to look further for information. At the
moment I'm really puzzled and completely stuck. All reports
said, backup went fine, but nothing was dumped for that disk.
