Hi:
I now have access to the backup system and can run my own checks.
The report I received that AMANDA does not send email even when amcheck -m
DailySet3
indicates a changer error seems to have been mistaken. (I needed access to
the system
to see for myself what was really going on. I leave aside for the time being
the question of who should be receiving the emails--which get left on the
AMANDA server and
are not being forwarded to someone who can address the error.) After this, I
will attempt to
figure out why there is a changer error. (Any suggestions would be
appreciated.)
amcheck -m DailySet3
sends the following email
(by the way, echo $? returns 1, as it should)
