A few weeks ago, I upgraded my server from Ubuntu 10.10 to Ubuntu
11.04, and in the process Amanda from 3.1.0 to 3.2.1. I have not run
amcheck since then except from a cron job, where it silently succeeded.

Yesterday the cron job amcheck failed due to a laptop being off line.
In that email, I also got a list of deprecated keywords. I seem to be
getting good backups and (once I comment the offending keywords out)
successful amcheck runs (where "successful" is defined as no warnings
or errors).

The offending keywords are: tape_splitsize, fallback_splitsize,
split_diskbuffer, amrecover_do_fsf, and amrecover_check_label. According
to the release notes, the splitting keywords have been replaced with a
series of part* keywords. As luck would have it, I just got a successful
backup of a particularly large DLE (verified with amrecover and diff),
so I may not need to muck with those.

This is an amanda.conf I've been carrying forward since an early 2.x
installation some time in the late Holocene. The current amanda server
installation is 1:3.2.1-1 on Ubuntu 11.04. Clients are 1:2.5.2p1-1 on
Ubuntu 8.04.4 Hardy, 3.1.0-1 on Ubuntu 10.10, and the server. Tapes are
vtapes.

Thanks
