If these logs are unavailable, it can search tape-by-tape to -find what it needs, and can generate new logs to serve as an emergency tape -inventory. -The hostname, diskname, datestamp, and level dump pattern-matching works as in -amrestore(8), with the added requirement that at minimum a hostname must be -specified when not in inventory mode. -Unless -p is used, backup images are extracted to files in the current -directory named: -hostname.diskname.datestamp.dumplevel - -OPTIONS - - - - -p - Pipe exactly one complete dump file to stdout, instead of writing the - file to disk. This will restore only the first matching dumpfile (where - "first" is determined by the dump log search facility). - - -d device - Restore from this tape device instead of the default. - - -O directory - Output restored files to this directory, instead of to the current - working directory. - - -c - Compress output, fastest method available. - - -C - Compress output, smallest file size method available. - - -l - Leave dumps in the compressed/uncompressed state in which they were found - on tape. By default, amfetchdump will automatically uncompress when - restoring. - - -a - Assume that all tapes are already available, via tape changer or - otherwise, instead of prompting the operator to ensure that all tapes are - loaded. - - -i filename - Generate an inventory of all dumps "seen" on the tapes we search, for - later use as a log. - - -w - Wait to put split dumps together until all chunks have been restored. - Normally, amfetchdump will attempt to read pieces of a split file from - tape in order, so that it can assemble them simply by appending each file - to the first. This option disables the appending behavior, and instead - restores each piece as an individual file and reassembles them only after - all have been restored. - - Note - - This requires at least double the size of your dump in free disk space, - in order to build the final assembled dumpfile. - This behavior is implicitly invoked in circumstances where knowing the - location of all dumps on tape in advance is not possible, such as when - you are restoring without log files. - - -n - Do not reassemble split dump files at all, just restore each piece as an - individual file. - - -s - Do not fast-forward straight to needed files on tape. This will slow down - most restores substantially. Only use this option if your tape drive does - not properly support the fast-forward operation. - - -b blocksize - Force a particular block size when reading from tapes. This value will - usually be autodetected, and should not normally need to be set. - - -o configoption - See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in amanda(8). - - -EXAMPLES - -All the examples here assume your configuration is called SetA. -Here's a simple case, restoring all known dumps of the host vanya to the -current working directory. - -$ amfetchdump SetA vanya -A more likely scenario involves restoring a particular dump from a particular -date. We'll pipe this one to GNU-tar as well, to automatically extract the -dump. - -$ amfetchdump -p SetA vanya /home 20051020 | gtar -xvpf - -In a situation where all of our dump logs have been wiped out, we could also -use amfetchdump to inventory our tapes and recreate an imitation of those logs, -which we'll send to stdout for casual perusal. - -$ amfetchdump -i - SetA -Note that you can specify a restore while in inventory mode, and amfetchdump -will continue searching for more dumps from this host even after successfully -restoring a dump, inventorying all the while. If your backup searcher has been -trashed, this is a handy way to recover what you have. - -$ amfetchdump -i /var/amanda/log SetA backupserver - -CAVEATS - -Amfetchdump is dependent on accessing your server's config, tape changer, and -(normally) dump logs. As such, it's not necessarily the most useful tool when -those have all been wiped out and you desperately need to pull things from your -tape. Pains have been taken to make it as capable as possible, but for -seriously minimialist restores, look to amrestore(8) or dd(8) instead. - -AUTHOR - -John Stange, , National Academies Press -Ian Turner, : XML-conversion - -SEE ALSO - -amanda(8), amadmin(8), amrestore(8), tar(1) restore(8) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Prev Up Next -amdump Home amflush -
