Hi!
I have been trying to do a tapeless configuration of amanda, to use holding
disk. (JRJ: If you're reading this: I couldn't find amanda-242-tapeio on
CVS that you suggested to someone else on 3/7/2001. Any more info on that?)
Anyway, back to the problem at hand - amanda 2.4.2pl1; client + server both
RedHat 6.2. A test dump resulted in this error, even tough I was trying a
full dump.
Here's a compilation of the logfile, disklist and amanda.conf - at least
the parts that I thought matter most in this case. Hope it helps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
