Hi all,
I have a strange problem with amrecover.
I am trying to recover directories from a level 0 backup which is on a
single vtape.
Say the directory is /dir1 and in it I have 3 files: file1,file2,file3
if I use
amrecover> lcd /tmp/bu2
amrecover> cd /
/
amrecover> ls
2006-01-11 .
2006-01-11 dir1/
amrecover> add *
Added dir /dir1
amrecover> extract
Extracting files using tape drive file:/backup/daily on host xxx.yyy.zzz
The following tapes are needed: daily08
Restoring files into directory /tmp/bu2
Continue [?/Y/n]?
Extracting files using tape drive file:/backup/daily on host xxx.yyy.zzz
Load tape daily08 now
Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]?
./dir1/
./dir1/file1
./dir1/file2
./dir1/file3
amrecover> exit
200 Good bye.
now, when looking at the created directories:
root AT www.yyy DOT zzz/tmp/bu2> ls *
dir1:
i.e. the directory was created but the files not restored. However if I use
the following "add" command instead it works:
amrecover> cd /dir1
/dir1/
amrecover> add *
Added /dir1/file1
Added /dir1/file2
Added /dir1/file3
amrecover> extract
Extracting files using tape drive file:/backup/daily on host xxx.yyy.zzz
The following tapes are needed: daily08
Restoring files into directory /tmp/bu2
Continue [?/Y/n]?
Extracting files using tape drive file:/backup/daily on host xxx.yyy.zzz

Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]?
./dir1/
./dir1/file1
./dir1/file2
./dir1/file3
amrecover> exit
200 Good bye.
--> naming the files explicitly restores them, while naming the directory
only restores the directory. This is clearly wrong -- What did I forget ?
system info:
both server & client running fc1 with amanda 2.4.4p2-3.
Server is using vtapes
Thanks,
Shai
