Hi, all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I recently upgraded from amanda-2.4.5 to amanda-2.6.0_p2-r4. I think |
| 4 |
I've been able to make backups |
| 5 |
successfully: the backup reports amanda sends afterwards look |
| 6 |
reasonable. However, I've not been able |
| 7 |
to do restores. It appears that the contents of |
| 8 |
/etc/amanda/amandahosts and /etc/xinetd.d/amanda have |
| 9 |
changed between these two versions, and I suspect that my attempts at |
| 10 |
updating the contents are at |
| 11 |
fault. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
My 2.4.5 amandahosts file looked like this: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
my_host.my_domain amanda |
| 16 |
my_host.my_domain root |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
and the 2.6.0_p2-r4 amandahosts looks like: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
my_host.my_domain amanda amdump |
| 21 |
my_host.my_domain root amindexd amidxtaped |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
My 2.4.5 amanda file looked like this: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
service amanda |
| 27 |
{ |
| 28 |
socket_type = dgram |
| 29 |
protocol = udp |
| 30 |
wait = yes |
| 31 |
user = amanda |
| 32 |
group = amanda |
| 33 |
groups = yes |
| 34 |
server = /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad |
| 35 |
only_from = 192.168.1.0 |
| 36 |
disable = no |
| 37 |
} |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
service amandaidx |
| 40 |
{ |
| 41 |
socket_type = stream |
| 42 |
protocol = tcp |
| 43 |
wait = no |
| 44 |
user = amanda |
| 45 |
group = amanda |
| 46 |
groups = yes |
| 47 |
server = /usr/libexec/amanda/amindexd |
| 48 |
only_from = 192.168.1.0 |
| 49 |
disable = no |
| 50 |
} |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
service amidxtape |
| 53 |
{ |
| 54 |
socket_type = stream |
| 55 |
protocol = tcp |
| 56 |
wait = no |
| 57 |
user = amanda |
| 58 |
group = amanda |
| 59 |
groups = yes |
| 60 |
server = /usr/libexec/amanda/amidxtaped |
| 61 |
only_from = 192.168.1.0 |
| 62 |
disable = no |
| 63 |
} |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
and my 2.6.0_p2-r4 amanda file looks like: |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
service amanda |
| 69 |
{ |
| 70 |
disable = no |
| 71 |
flags = IPv4 |
| 72 |
socket_type = stream |
| 73 |
protocol = tcp |
| 74 |
wait = no |
| 75 |
user = amanda |
| 76 |
group = amanda |
| 77 |
groups = yes |
| 78 |
server = /usr/libexec/amanda/amandad |
| 79 |
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped |
| 80 |
} |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
The above was taken from |
| 83 |
/usr/share/doc/amanda-2.6.0_p2-r4/example/xinetd.amandaserver.bz2. |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
A run of amcheck shows no errors. |
| 86 |
|
| 87 |
Running su -c "/usr/sbin/amadmin my_host find" amanda produces the |
| 88 |
expected output. |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
Running amrecover -C my_host -t my_host -s my_host -d |
| 91 |
file:/backup/my_host/vtapes |
| 92 |
produces a pause of about 30 seconds then the following output: |
| 93 |
AMRECOVER Version 2.6.0p2. Contacting server on my_host ... |
| 94 |
[request failed: timeout waiting for ACK] |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
/var/log/messages contains nothing enlightening. Neither does |
| 97 |
/var/amanda/my_host/log.* |
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
Thanks for any ideas on how to debug this! |
