What are the things to be taken care of while upgrading the amanda server
and client from version 2.6.1 to 3.1.1.
Have a look at the changelog:
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/3.1_features
The only two changes I made was changing my chg-compat:chg-zd-mtx config
define changer "LTO3_Changer" {
tpchanger "chg-compat:chg-zd-mtx"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/KAS/chg-zd-mtx.conf"
changerdev "/dev/changer"
tapedev "tape:/dev/tape"
}
to chg-robot
define changer "LTO3_Changer" {
tpchanger "chg-robot:/dev/changer"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/KAS/chg-zd-mtx-state"
property "tape-device" "0=tape:/dev/tape"
property "eject-before-unload" "no"
property "use-slots" "1-18"
property "load-poll" "20 s poll 15 s until 120 s"
}
because it's deprecated. And Second: amandapass moved:
The default amandapass file for the amsamba application is
$CONFIG_DIR/amandapass, but it is /etc/amandapass for program GNUTAR. Don't
forget to move the file if you switch to the amsamba application.
Will the backup that has already taken using the previous version work with
the newer one??
You can restore with 3.1.1 backups made with older version. Also you don't
have to update your clients (here I have 3.1.1 on the server and 2.6.1p2 and
on some 2.4.4p1 on client side). I also had checked to do a restore over the
network from a 3.1.1 server using a 2.6.1p2 client. Everything fine.
Please help me with safe procedures. The amanda server is running in RHEL5
But I found 2 bugs in 3.1.1:
1.) amrecover can't work with files/directories containing german umlauts
(don't know if other characters than english ones make problems too).
2.) amandapass: The columns can only be separated by one space/tab not more!
For both bugs Dustin wrote patches. I allready had tested them successfully
and I gave him feedback some hours ago. I think they will be included in 3.1.2
that should be released in a few days.

MArc
