that have changed since the last backup, even if that was an incremental
recently I have added 1 PC to be backuped up (so now in total 2 PC's
are backuped: the server itself and this 2nd PC). It has taken some
fiddling with the /etc/hosts file on the new client, but at the end
it worked. 3 backups were done without any problem, but number 4
and 5 failed
Hi,
Running amcheck, all hosts on one subnet timeout:
host selfcheck request failed: timeout waiting for ACK
I don't see you mentionning any .amandahosts on the clients... As
/tmp/amanda was not created, maybe .amandahosts was not either.
Best regards,

Hi,
Time to add my 2 cents to that thread, and ask for advice from Amanda
gurus too.
The way I solvedthe offsite tapes thing is the following:
I declared:
dumpcycle 1 week
runspercycle 5
tapecycle 6 tapes
I labeled 6*3 tapes, with labels like set-1-00 to set-1-05, set-2-00
to set-2-05 and
Thks a lot, the problem was that I haven't rebuilt amanda-common with
the wrapper path on my client, but just rebuilt amanda-client. It works
now with tar.
Usually it should be enough to recompile the client part?
Now I have to script in order to replace tar arguments by star arguments...
So you are saying i should loock for ~4GB directories tar them instead
to dump them?
Just to be on the safe side, and if you are considering to split your
backup anyway, it is better to split into pieces that are smaller than
the tape size.
I thought amanda can split such big backup archives
my tapelist has become a bit confused, due to my own fault, by me adding
tapes in the middle of my numbered sequence. At the moment it looks
like this:
20060803 daily-5 reuse
20060802 daily-1 reuse
20060801 daily-3 reuse
20060731 daily-4 reuse
20060731 daily-2 reuse
If the matter
Hi,
How can i tell amanda to split it up in 4500MB slices and write them one
by one to DVD-RAM?
Make them several DLEs. That means you must use GNU tar, not dump and
you must identify sub-hierarchies, from that too big disk, that will
match your 4.5 GB limit. Time to play with exclude file
