Restoring from a holding disk?
2007-09-07 14:14:09
I checked the wiki and Google and couldn't find an answer. How do I
restore from files on a holding disk if the dump has been split across
multiple chunks on the holding disk?
I have the following files:
alva._home.4 alva._home.4.2 alva._home.4.4
alva._home.4.1 alva._home.4.3 alva._home.4.5
I can restore from alva._home.4 using amrestore as normal:
amrestore -p alva._home.4 | tar xvf -
But that's obviously only part of the backup.
If I try to concatenate all of the files together, as the wiki
suggests when using amrestore to restore from a tape:
for i in `ls -1 alva._home.4*`; do dd if=$i >> wholedump.0; done
then run amrestore on wholedump.0, amrestore successfully processes
the data corresponding to alva._home.4 then gives the following
errors:
tar: Skipping to next header
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
What's the correct procedure for restoring from holding disk files in this case?
Thank you.
