Hi fellows, I'm rather new to amanda, so forgive me if this question ist simple ;-)
Since the tape-device I was to use does not work anymore, I now have to backup to harddisk. The problem is: HOW can I get amanda to write backups to harddisk? I've tried telling it that there is no tape-device, I've tried telling it that the "new" tape-device ist "/space/amanda", but whatever I try doesn't work. I understood that amanda writes to holding disk, and if there is a tape-failure the data in the holding disk will stay there, waiting to be flushed to tape. Well, if this *would* work it'll be fine, but all amanda does is give me a report-mail telling that there's no tape, and everytime it builds a file of 64 kb in /space/amanda, which is named exactly like the directory I'm trying to save ... I was told that there IS a way to get amanda to work without tapes, but I can't find it ... Hope someone can help me :-) With best wishes Henning
