tapeless backup...should i have symbolic links to data?
2003-07-11 12:37:41
Hello,
I am wondering whether or not I should be using symbolic links for
"data" in my tapeless setup.
I am currently able to run "amdump" but not able to successfully run
"amrecover"?
Within my amanda.conf
tapedev file:/backups
Directory Structure
/backups/01
...
/backups/20
When I go to run amdump I just point "data" to the next tape in line.
$ln -s 06 data
$amdump DailySet1
I have recently seen some docs where the data directory is actually
created within the tape.
/backups/01/data
Which of these methods are best for a tapeless backup setup?
How does this affect how I do "amrecover"?
I am currently having trouble with "amrecover" and am not sure what I
should be using for "settape".
I have tried using the following:
ln -s data 02
(then within amrecover)
settatape host:file:/backups/02
or
settatape host:file:/backups
I have not had luck either way. I receive this error.

Extracting files using tape drive file:/backups/02 on host

Load tape DailySet102 now
Continue [?/Y/n/t]? y
amrecover: error reading tape: Connection reset by peer
extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1

Thanks so much for your help.
