I finally got amanda to say it backed up my windows machines over samba, so
now I'm trying to restore to make sure it's happening right. When I try to
use amrecover, it tells me there's no index. I checked, and sure enough,
there isn't.
This is the strange error from the backup report:
/-- backup.dom //lyris1/SQL_backup lev 0 STRANGE
sendbackup: start [backup.mydomain.net://lyris1/SQL_backup level 0]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/bin/smbclient
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/bin/smbclient -f... -
sendbackup: info end
? tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file
/var/cache/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory
? tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file
/var/cache/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory
? tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file
/var/cache/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory
? File size change - truncating \lyris1_listmanager1.bak to 231756288 bytes
| tar: dumped 1 files and directories
| Total bytes written: 231756800
sendbackup: size 226325
sendbackup: end
\--------
I haven't figured out the "/var/cache/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or
directory" error yet, but it does say it backed up the data. Here's the
relevant info from my disklist and amanda.conf
backup.mydomain.net //lyris1/SQL_backup nocomp-user-gnutar
define dumptype nocomp-user-gnutar {
program "GNUTAR"
comment "user partitions dumped with tar and no compression"
options no-compress
priority medium
}
Has anyone dealt with this before? If not, does anyone know of a good
reference guide for pulling backups directly off of the tape?
Thanks,
Alex Thurlow
