What is the impact in amanda's backups "database"?
amrmtape the small one, then amlabel a new one. amanda will do the right thing in terms of making sure that whatever was on the tape you removed gets put on tape ASAP. > 2) Port range: > My network has traffic control (firewall) and i'd like to delimit a port > range for amanda. > In most of my machines i've installed amanda's RPMs (binaries) and > therefor the "compile with --port-range=?,?" option is out of question. > In the "examples" directory i saw a "config.site" file and read it.

Your only option (AFAIK) is to compile amanda with the portrange settings. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
