Thanks,
but how do i tell amanda that i changed the tape when the backup is run through
a cronjob each night?
configuring chg-manual is the old way to do it, it is better to
configure and interactivity module:
# amanda.conf
# define an interactivity module:
define interactivity tty_email {
comment "interactivity tty_email"
plugin "tty_email"
property "mailto" "YOUR EMAIL_ADDRESS"
property "resend_delay" "5"
property "check-file" "/tmp/amanda/tty_email"
property "check-file-delay" "10"
}
# tell amanda to use it:
interactivity "tty_email"
See the documentation in 'man amanda-interactivity'

Hello,
i have DLEs which are bigger than a single tape now. And i thought the solution
would be to change the following in my amanda.conf
runtapes 2
holdingdisk hd1 {
comment "first holding disk"
directory "/mnt/amanda-holding" # where the holding disk is
chunksize 50Gb # size of chunk if you want big dump to be
}
to enable amanda to span big DLEs over multiple tape, by leaving the untaped
chunks on the holding disk for the next run.
no, the complete dle must be written to two 2 tapes in the same runs.
Even if i have only one LTO drive without a tape changer, by looking at the
docs i need to set runtapes bigger than 1, is that correct?
So how do i configure amanda properly to span single DLEs over multiple tapes,
with one LTO Drive and no tape changer?
You must configure the 'chg-manual' changer.
Also add the following device property:
device-property "LEOM" "yes"
