Amrecover help

[Prashant Ramhit]

Hi All,

I think I did a backup sucessfully, but I cannot check as i do not have
a logs although the folder
/var/log/amanda/fullback was created.

1. How do I switch the logs in the config so as to check the status of
the backup.

2. amrecover is giving this message

root@backupserver:/etc/amanda/fullback# amrecover fullback
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2. Contacting server on callisto ...
[request failed: getaddrinfo(callisto): Temporary failure in name resolution
]
root@backupserver:/etc/amanda/fullback#

Any thoughts.

Kind Regards,
Prashant

Hi Martin,

This is what annoying, i do not have calisto on my DNS.
Calisto does not exist anywhere. Even on the config files.

Where does it get calisto name from??
And how to edit that?

Thanks
Prashant

Hi All

I did the following.

root@backupserver:/etc/amanda/fullback# amrecover -C fullback -s
localhost -t localhost -d /dev/nst0
AMRECOVER Version 2.5.2. Contacting server on localhost ...
NAK: user root from localhost is not allowed to execute the service
amindexd: Please add "amindexd amidxtaped" to the line in
/var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts on the client

In the the following correct?

root@backupserver:/etc/amanda/fullback# more /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts
localhost amanda amdump
backupserver.bluebarracuda.com amanda amdump
backupserver.bluebarracuda.com root amindexd
backupserver.bluebarracuda.com root amidxtaped

Kind Regards,
Prashant

Amanda told you to add "amindexd" and "amidxtaped" for localhost. Then you need:
localhost    amanda    amdump amindexd amidxtaped

Maybe amanda-client.conf on the machine you started amrecover?

vi, emacs, kate, kedit,...
