Dear sir,
I have the amanda-2.4.1p1-18.i386.rpm package in my standard RedHat 7.0.
I have
In my server, I have got both one:
dump-0.4b19-4
tar-1.13.17-8
I have used the standard sample.conf from amanda and have not changed
which type of dumping method to use.
In my dumping, I use the command:
38 3 * * * /usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1
Then, I try to use the amrestore:
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
amrestore /dev/nst0 202.85.165.88 '/home$'
I was successful to use this command to get different directories that I
have backed up.
And then, there is a file created for each amrestore.
Then, I follow the help and type:
[root@ns31 /operator]# dd if=202.85.165.88._operator_usr.20001215.0 ibs=32k
obs
=32k skip=1 | gzip -dc | tar -xvf -
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
2+0 records in
1+0 records out
So, I am wondering which step is still incorrect.
Thanks,
Yours,
Richard Ao
