Thanks for the thought Steve, but I don't see any way to get file-by-file dump
data out of the xfsdump inventory. xfsdump seems to be only keeping overall
session info in the inventory, not a list of which files are backed up by a
given xfsdump session.
On my server, the inventory files themselves are all less than 10K . I have
over 40,000 files on the server (all non-critical test data), so I'm pretty
sure xfs is not storing the kind of inventory I was hoping it was.
I have used OmniBack from HP before, and I pretty sure I could interrogate its
inventory and it would tell me which tapes had a copy of a specific file.
Question for all:
Getting a list of which backups contain a specific file seems like a common
need.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Does Amanda or some other backup management software provide this ability?
