Erik> Dear Group, I feel that I have come quite far in setting up Erik> amanda on my Debian/GNU Linux 2.2 system. I seem to be able to Erik> connect from client to server, access the tape drive (SCSI Erik> /dev/nst0) and such.
Erik> However, since I am still testing I have not yet set up the Erik> crontab entry but would like to supply some commands manually. Erik> However, as soon as I perform a dump, I get an email asking for: Erik> a new tape. I have tried amlabel to write all kinds of Erik> labels. This seems to work but I have not found a way to get Erik> amanda to accept it. I have not been able to find in the Erik> documentation how to go about this, other than (from the Howto): Erik> Run amlabel to label all the tapes needed according to your Erik> needs. Have you set the "labelstr" parameter in amanda.conf? Mine says labelstr "^DailySet1-[0-9][0-9]*$" # label constraint regex: all tapes match and my tapes are labelled DailySet1-01, DailySet1-02, etc. .. -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A.
