#1621 PR merged: Add basic support for EMC Avamar¶
Labels: enhancement, fixed / solved / done, external tool
vKaiS opened issue at 2017-12-05 15:41:¶
With these patches users can restore systems, which use the AvamarClient package and a compatible server to backup the file sytem, with ReaR. Use "BACKUP=AVA" in the local.conf or site.conf and follow the instructions.

I know nothing at all about EMC Avamar and how it works
so that I can only make a general comment:
In restore/AVA/default/200_prompt_user_to_start_restore.sh
you call /opt/avamar/bin/avagent.bin
If /opt/avamar/bin/avagent.bin is an interactive program,
see "What to do with stdout and stderr" in
https://github.com/rear/rear/wiki/Coding-Style
basically any program that behaves interactive
or could sometimes be interactive must be called as
COMMAND ... 0<&6 1>&7 2>&8

@kai7p Is this a partial PR? As the restore is a request to restore via
a WebGUI? Are there plans to foresee a full cycle of automatic restore
via rear recover ?

@gdha I don't think Avamar offers the required APIs to automate the recovery
