| {{Troubleshooting Problem}}
| |
| If you have backed up files with wildcard characters as part of the filename, and you are using gnutar as part of your Amanda backup process, you may notice that you can no longer pull the files out. The symptoms are:
| |
| | |
| amrecover> add *asid=\[101\]*
| |
| Added /joe_asid=[101].gz
| |
| amrecover> extract
| |
| Extracting files using tape drive /dev/nst0 on host amandahost.example.com.
| |
| The following tapes are needed: big1
| |
| Restoring files into directory /tmp
| |
| Continue? [Y/n]: y
| |
| Load tape big1 now
| |
| Continue? [Y/n]: y
| |
| tar: ./joe_asid=[101].gz: Not found in archive
| |
| tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
| |
| | |
| {{Troubleshooting Solution}}
| |
| The solution can be one of a number of things:
| |
| | |
| 1. Try to make gnutar treat wildcard characters
| |
| (like [ and ] and *) as normal characters. I'm not sure this is possible, and I haven't tried.
| |
| | |
| 2. Edit the amrecover source code to make it escape wildcard characters.
| |
| | |
| 3. Use amrestore instead of amrecover so that you can escape the filenames you're interested in, e.g.:
| |
| | |
| $ mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
| |
| $ amrestore -p /dev/nst0 \
| |
| client1.example.com \
| |
| '/backed/up/directory$' | tar -xpvf - './joe_asid=\[101\].gz'
