amrestore with tar empty directories at mountpoints
2006-09-24 15:31:58
Hi All.
I am new to amanda, and maybe I just don't understand how it works, but
here is my problem:
I have a remote machine that I back up over my network. The backups and
everything go fine. I am doing a disaster recovery test today, and it
went all wrong. Very, very wrong. I have a DLE in disklists for "/" of
this remote host. The problem is that on this host, I have several
different partitions mounted at /usr, /var/ /home, . . . you get the
idea, and when the backup of the "/" DLE happenes, empty directories are
created for all the mountpoints! (I am using GNUTAR). So, when I tried
to do a bare-metal restore, it clobbered my base install by overwriting
all the mountpoints with empty directories, and I couldn't restore the
rest of the partitions because the base install was hosed.
Can anyone help me / tell me what to do in order to get tar not to
create these empty directories at the other mountpoints?
Thanks,
Nick Brockner
