I can't seem to get amrecover to work.
I have a single server running amanda, with an SDLT
drive attached to it. All my clients are being backed up without problems. (I
have done recent recoveries "manually.")
However, when I try to run amrecover from a client,
when I issue the extract, amrecover fails and tells me to check the amidxtaped
log file on the server.
I do and at the end of it I see:
Ready to execv amrestore with:
path =
/usr/local/sbin/amrestore
argv[0] = "amrestore"
argv[1] = "-h"
argv[2]
= "-p"
argv[3] = "/dev/nst0"
argv[4] = "lun"
argv[5] =
"^/home$"
argv[6] = "20030120"
amrestore: could not
open tape /dev/nst0: Permission denied
amidxtaped: amrestore
terminated normally with status: 2
Rewinding tape: no tape
online
amidxtaped: pid 27373 finish time Thu Feb 13 17:16:29
2003
the amrecover command I use on the
client:
/usr/local/sbin/amrecover -C set1 -s godzilla
-t godzilla -d /dev/nst0
godzilla is my amanda/tape server, lun is the
client I'm trying to run it on.
all the clients are having no problem talking to
/dev/nst0 on the tape server during backup, why would amrecover be having a
problem. Something to do with having to run amrecover as root on the client
????
Clues ??
thanks ....
