Hi
I am having other problems now where I have attempted to use vxrestore
and restored back most of the system. However, there appear to be some
files missing so I am having to use amrecover to restore certain
directories in /usr/local on my HPUX machine
I am using my July full backup tape which was successful but amrecover
keeps me for the last full backup tape (Fri3.1) which is a corrupt tape.
Also I have noticed that when I load the July tape and set it to the
correct directory to restore, on the client when I do a listing of whats
on the July tape, its giving me the date of last Friday (Fri3.1) WHY?????
That's because amrecover does not read the tape, but uses the
online index files.
After you have specified the files, amrecover would then tell you
which tapes it needed!
It should be giving me the date of the July full backup.
How can I force amrecover to read off the correct tape and not ask me to
load Fri3.1????

Here I load Jul0.1 and fsf to 84
Then I go to my client:
# /opt/amanda/sbin/amrecover -C Weekly -t tsssun1 -s tsssun1

The default is to use the most current date.
You can change this with the command:
setdate 2004-08-03
I got that date from the info above. And now amrecover
will ask for the last tape just before that date.
And that seems to be the tape named "Jul0.1".
200 Working date set to 2004-08-26.
200 Config set to Weekly.

Notice that it is showing the wrong date on July's tape.
amrecover does not yet did anything with the tape.

The following tapes are needed: Fri3.1
See here it says, that to restore what you asked, then
you need tape "Fri3.1".

Load tape Fri3.1 now

And only now, it reads the tape.
Which of course does not contain what amrecover asks.
