Hi All,
i'm a new user Amanda user. I've got installed 2.4.3 and i'm unable to get it
working correctly. I've got a SCSI TAPE STREAMER Sony SDT-9000 with
Sequential-Access attacched to scsi tape device st0. There's no disk tape
changer. So i'll try to configure Amanda,removing all unused files in
/usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily, in that way:
-------------------------------------- amanda.conf
# MOON.TDSIENA.IT
org "Daily" # your organization name for reports
mailto "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" # space separated list of operators at your
site
dumpuser "backup" # the user to run dumps under
inparallel 4 # maximum dumpers that will run in parallel (max 63)
# this maximum can be increased at compile-time,
# modifying MAX_DUMPERS in server-src/driverio.h
dumporder "sssS" # specify the priority order of each dumper
# s -> smallest size
# S -> biggest size
# t -> smallest time
# T -> biggest time
# b -> smallest bandwitdh
# B -> biggest bandwitdh
# try "BTBTBTBTBTBT" if you are not holding
# disk constrained
netusage 600 Kbps # maximum net bandwidth for Amanda, in KB per sec
dumpcycle 1 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 5 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
# (4 weeks * 5 amdump runs per week -- just weekdays)
tapecycle 5 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation
# 4 weeks (dumpcycle) times 5 tapes per week (just
# the weekdays) plus a few to handle errors that
# need amflush and so we do not overwrite the full
# backups performed at the beginning of the previous
# cycle
bumpsize 20 Mb # minimum savings (threshold) to bump level 1 -> 2
bumpdays 1 # minimum days at each level
bumpmult 4 # threshold = bumpsize * bumpmult^(level-1)
etimeout 300 # number of seconds per filesystem for estimates.
dtimeout 1800 # number of idle seconds before a dump is aborted.
ctimeout 30 # maximum number of seconds that amcheck waits
# for each client host
tapebufs 20
runtapes 1 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump
tpchanger "chg-manual" # the tape-changer glue script
tapedev "/dev/st0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used
rawtapedev "/dev/nftape" # the raw device to be used (ftape only)
changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily/changer.conf"
changerdev "/dev/null"
tapetype HP-DDS # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes below)
labelstr "^Daily[0-9][0-9]*$" # label constraint regex: all tapes must match
holdingdisk hd1 {
comment "main holding disk"
directory "/home/amanda" # where the holding disk is
use 640 Mb # 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 30 # percent
# This means save at least 30% of the holding disk space for degraded
# mode backups.
autoflush no #

# dumptypes
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
# This is quite useful for setting global parameters, so you don't have
# to type them everywhere. All dumptype definitions in this sample file
# do include these definitions, either directly or indirectly.
# There's nothing special about the name `global'; if you create any
# dumptype that does not contain the word `global' or the name of any
# other dumptype that contains it, these definitions won't apply.
# Note that these definitions may be overridden in other
# dumptypes, if the redefinitions appear *after* the `global'
# dumptype name.
# You may want to use this for globally enabling or disabling
# indexing, recording, etc. Some examples:
# index yes
# record no

}
define interface le0 {

}
---------------------------
and the disklist that seems to be correct.
When i try to launch amcheck -m Daily it ask me for "Insert tape disk into
slot 1 and press RETURN" and i can press return while the day end but no
other message jumps off !
What's wrong ?
Tnx !
