Re: Restore buffer?
2004-08-25 14:44:30
amrecover and amrestore can be used to recover or restore arbitrary parts
of the backup tape( s ) to arbitrary places...assuming the machine you're
running them from has the appropriate tools available (IE gnutar and/or the
particular 'dump' programs needed) -- so the generic answer is 'yes' --
restores can happen to any amanda client that is given access to the server.

I am in charge of seeting up a new backup server for the County of
Montrose, CO. My boss has asked me to put together a system that will
allow us to buffer a restore job (say, grabbing a file from tape) before
sending the file back to its proper place on a server.
The reason he feels this is necessary is so we can look at a file
restored from tape before we destroy anything that might be on the
server proper. That way, it can be confirmed by the user that this is
indeed the file(s) they need restored before we commit to the final
action.
Is Amanda capable of this kind of operation?
Thank you very much for your time.
