Hi all,
Ok, here's another question for you guys, and sorry for their
simplicity :
How do I tell amanda that I am not using tapes so that it stops
reporting tape problems, both in the mail status report, and more
importantly in the output of amcheck?
When run the latter I always get:
adrastea# su amanda -c "amcheck normal"
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /backups/: 288271748 KB disk space available, that's plenty
ERROR: file:/backups/: rewinding tape: I/O error
(expecting a new tape)
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 0.044 seconds
Currently I have this configuration, what is the right way to configure
tapeless backup?
runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of
amdump
tapedev "file:/backups/"
#tapedev "/dev/null"
#rawtapedev "/dev/null"
#changerdev "/dev/null"
tapetype DISKSAVE # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes below)
holdingdisk hd1 {
comment "main holding disk"
directory "/backups/" # where the holding disk is
use 50 Gb # how much space can we use on it
# a non-positive value means:
# use all space but that value
chunksize 1Gb # size of chunk if you want big dump to be
# dumped on multiple files on holding disks
# N Kb/Mb/Gb split images in chunks of size N
# The maximum value should be
# (MAX_FILE_SIZE - 1Mb)
# 0 same as INT_MAX bytes
}
reserve 0
define tapetype DISKSAVE {
