Yes, a holding disk allows amanda to build several backups at the same time (if you HAVE more than one node or DLE to back up). When each backup finishes, then it is sent to “tape” …. er, vtape. > - I follow the instructions at > https://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/GSWA/Build_a_Basic_Configuration but when > running amcheck get the error: > can not stat /var/lib/Amanda/gnutar-lists > - indeed there is no file present there. any ideas? Create it. In my set of self instructions (we continually have new nodes added), I have: mkdir -p /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists/ == /var/lib/Amanda/gnutar-lists/ for you chown -R operator amanda/ == Amanda, and whatever your backup-username is, for you > > Thanks…Lyle Deb Baddorf Fermilab
