Hi,
I am attempting to set up my HP Sure Store Dat-40e on my Debian 2.2.19
installation.
After attempting to weed through all of the READMEs and doing some searches
in the archives I made the following changes.
I have not formatted the tape or ever succesfully mounted the tape drive to
/backup (which is where I want it).
I have set the following parameters in amanda.conf
tapedev "/dev/st0"
tapetype HP-Dat
below I have specified
define tapetype HP-DAT {
comment "DAT tape drives"
length 40000 mbytes #It is a 40 gig
filemark 100 kbytes #only because this is what it was originally I
dont
know what it should be
speed 500 kbytes #this was what was already here as well
}
To start I only want to back up this very machine so in disklist i have
localhost sdb1 nocomp-root
#i use this just because nocomp-root is already defined until testing is
complete.
after making these changes i figured I needed to label a disk.
so I ran
amlabel DailySet1 TestLabel1
And it has said
rewinding
ever since then (hours). It seems as though it might be doing something so I
dont want to interrupt it but it has been way to long.
I saw some notes in the .conf file that said "use the (no-rewind)" I could
not see anything else about no rewind, and cant figure out what it is.
In short(hehe) what am I missing?
And since I am sure someone has the answer to this one and as soon as I get
past it I will run into something else. what is a good resource to help walk
me through the setup process?
Thanks
Michael Blood
