Are you sure both partitions are reiserfs? You are right. /boot is ext3. Don't know why I did that, but it does agree with the results.

One person suggested I could use dump and avoid the error by changing the estimate type (in amanda.conf), but I think I'll just avoid dump since I use reiserfs everywhere.

Re: tar vs. dump for / backup?
Since the 'all estimate failed' error is a generic (thank you Dustin), it was suggested (thank you Jean-Louis) that I look on the client for amandad.*.debug and sendsize.*.debug for error message. On the Gentoo client I found the log in: /var/spool/amanda/tmp/client/DailySet1 The file: sendsize.20080714181357.debug sendsize[7952]: time 0.001: calculating for amname /, dirname /, spindle -1 sendsize[7952]: time 0.001: getting size via dump for / level 0 sendsize[7952]: time 0.001: calculating for device /dev/sda2 with reiserfs sendsize[7952]: time 0.001: running "/usr/sbin/dump 0Ssf 1048576 - /dev/sda2" sendsize[7952]: time 0.002: running /usr/libexec/killpgrp sendsize[7950]: time 0.002: waiting for any estimate child: 1 running sendsize[7952]: time 0.003: /dev/sda2: Bad magic number in super-block while opening filesystem^M sendsize[7952]: time 0.003: DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. sendsize[7952]: time 0.004: . sendsize[7952]: time 0.004: estimate time for / level 0: 0.002 sendsize[7952]: time 0.004: no size line match in /usr/sbin/dump output for / This error offers more information as to why it really died.

The disklist was in my first email to the group, but here it is again: builder1.mydomain.com /boot hard-disk-dump builder1.mydomain.com / hard-disk-dump Ian asked (in another email) for a "FAILED DUMP SUMMARY" section to explained what happened, as well as my /etc/amanda/DailySet1/amdump.1 In the report, at the top, I do see: FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: builder1.mydomain.com / lev 0 FAILED [disk /, all estimate failed] My amdump.1 appears in /usr/adm/amanda/ and it's big so I used a pastebin site, as I don't know what parts are relevant.

tar vs. dump for / backup?
I am trying to backup a remote host's /boot and / mount points.
I don't have a tape drive, so I am backing up host to a disk on the
server.
When I use hard-disk-dump, /boot seems to backup fine, but / doesn't.
When I use hard-disk-tar, both backup.
What's wrong with my hard-disk-dump?
Server is debian etch using amanda-2.5.1p1
Client is gentoo using amanda-2.5.2_p1-r3
Both systems use reiserfs file systems.
The backup is called DailySet1.
I configured the following files in /etc/amanda/DailySet1:
--

chown -R backup:backup /amandatapes/amandadumps/tape${num}
chmod -R 770 /amandatapes/amandadumps/tape${num}
amlabel DailySet1 DailySet1${num} slot ${num}

mkdir -p /usr/adm/amanda/curinfo
mkdir -p /usr/adm/amanda/index
mkdir /usr/adm/amanda/amdump

When trying to use hard-disk-dump, the the logs show both / and /boot

But the directory _ is empty and is empty for /:

Re: Does anybody have a LTO4 tapetype ?
Hello,
I have used amtapetype to get the LTO4 constants, it was very long
from 13:00 until 21:30 . but here is it :
define tapetype LTO4 {
comment "Dell LTO4 800Go - Compression Off"
length 802816 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 52616 kps
}
As I have no login to update the wiki I send it on the list to put it
into the right place.
The "0 kbytes" filemark seems a little bit strange ... but after 8:30
hours work it should be good ?
The speed seems to be lower than a little try I have done :
#19Go in #4 minutes giving #80Mo/sec.

Hello, I get a brand new LTO4 tape and I wonder about the tape definition to use. Regards JPP
"selfcheck request timed out" problem !!
Hi,
I have this problem that's getting me mad!
Amanda used to work very fine between the backup server (gentoo/ Amanda
installed through "emerge amanda"), and my personal pc (ubuntu/ Amanda
installed through "apt-get install amanda-client").
Now we have moved the backup server to a different network zone and now the
Amanda client is installed on a server on the same zone (no firewall). The
client has gentoo installed, and since there's no amanda-client in gentoo
portage amanda is installed (client with server) "emerge amanda" < I'm not
sure if this can cause problems >.
The situation right know is as the following:
The backup server:
-
$ hostname -f
backup..com
/etc/amanda/amandahosts:
auth02..com root
/etc/amanda/daily/disklist:
auth02 /etc comp-user-tar
/etc/xinetd.d/amanda:
service amanda
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= amanda
group = amanda
groups = yes
server = /usr/local/libexec/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsdtcp amdump amindexd amidxtaped
}
cat /etc/services | grep amanda
amanda 10080/tcp # amanda backup services
amanda 10080/udp
kamanda 10081/tcp # amanda backup services
(Kerberos)
kamanda 10081/udp
amandaidx 10082/tcp # amanda backup services
amidxtape 10083/tcp # amanda backup services
The client:
hostname -f
auth02..com
/etc/amanda/amandahosts:
backup..com amanda
/etc/xinetd.d/amanda:
service amanda
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol= udp
wait= yes
user= amanda
group = amanda
groups = yes
server = /usr/libexec/amandad
server_args = -auth=bsd amdump amindexd amidxtaped
disable = no
}
cat /etc/services | grep amanda
amanda 10080/tcp # amanda backup services
amanda 10080/udp
kamanda 10081/tcp # amanda backup services
(Kerberos)
kamanda 10081/udp
amandaidx 10082/tcp # amanda backup services
amidxtape 10083/tcp # amanda backup services
Now when:
backup ~ # su - amanda -c "/usr/sbin/amcheck daily":
WARNING: auth02..com: selfcheck request timed out. Host down?
Client check: 1 host checked in 29.999 seconds, 1 problem found
What do you suggest? I tried a lot but couldn't get it to work, is there
something missing on the client? Something wrong? Is it a problem with
amanda service? Maybe a permissions problem?
Thanks in advance

Amanda port range
Hello, I need to specify a port range for Amanda to use, in the following article they state: " The random ports can be addressed in multiple ways. Beginning with Amanda version 2.4.2, a compile option, --with-portrange=xxx,yyy, directs Amanda to use the given port ranges to connect clients and servers." http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7422 I installed Amanda on gentoo with "emerge amanda", and didn't compile it manually. My question is how can I now specify a port range for Amanda to use? Where should I tell Amanda to use that port range? Thanks in advance. -- Anas Marrawi Visit me at: www.anasonline.net

Some noop questions (RAID with Amanda)
Hello, I'm new to Amanda, I installed Amanda to a gentoo system, I had some problems due to the fact that all online tutorials are about Amanda on RedHat. But finally I get Amanda to work and amcheck command returns no errors :). But some issues still not so clear for me, right now I have two questions: 1- I have a RAID1 array (mirroring) which have the system (gentoo) with Amanda installed, and a RAID 5 array for storage. Right now backups are stored on the same RAID1 of the system, I need the backups to be stored on the RAID5 array, my question is: What files and folders need to be moved to the RAID 5 array so I can guarantee that all storage are done on the RAID 5 array. 2- When I run "amadmin daily find" I get: "could not open conf file "/usr/local/etc/amanda/daily/amanda.conf": No such file or directory". My conf file is actually located at: "/etc/amanda/daily/amanda.conf", how can I get amadmin to locate the file in the correct directory? That's it for now and thanks in advance for your help, Anas

Hello,
The try was OK, virtual tapes must have a defines size as there is (I
think there is) a default size when no tapetype is specified.

Problem with 2.5.1p3 on AIX
Hello, I succeed in compiling (gcc 4.1) the 2.5.1p3 on AIX 5.2 with : --disable-shared in the configure step and some alterations in all Makefiles. While executing the process hangs while gzipping the index file ... I encounter the same problem on Linux and have to revert to the previous version. I try to recompile with the 2.5.0.p2 and the process work util end and files are written to the virtual tape used for tests. I will try now to restore some files. What to do in the Makefiles --- 1) In the CFLAGS parameters ; change -q32 to -maix64 -qlonglong to -mlong-double-64 2) In the LDFLAGS parameters : suppress the '-b32' so LDFLAGS end with no param at all. 3) The parameter ' -X 64' must be added to "ar" parameters in all Makefiles 4) Add '-x 64' to all "ar" in the "libtool" script (occurs 3 times). 5) make and make install. 6) go Regards Storm66

It is a couple of brand new servers, so I compile with teh last GCC available (4.1), the configure step fails the first time (no "readline" library). After installing readline and readline-dev the configure step was OK. The compile was straightforward except many messages : gcc complains about a "-q32" option which it doesn't recognise ld complains about a '-d32" option which it doesn't recognise either The system is a 5.2.0.0 ML9. Today I try to launch "amcheck" with gdb (I am not a gdb expert!) and the problem seems to be in the "libamandaserer". I do the same job with "planner" it segfaults in the same lib at the same address ! I will try to give a nice core dump to gdb to see what happens. I didn't have much time to investigate, so I give up for today hoping that the machines does not break (and I do not make any errors ! ). The machines have to be ready to start as development servers as soon as possible and at least on 2007/03/12 ! I will try "truss" as I have used it on other systems in the past, many years ago ! > I've just tried to do so with amanda-2.5.1p2 (we use Solaris as main > environment, and there is no need to backup our AIX boxes yet).

Problems with AIX
Hello, Does anybody run Amanda on AIX 5.2 ? I try different binary packages, I compile the 2.5.1p3 sources, but the result is always the same : segmentation fault. I am not an AIX guru, so I have no idea about the problem : all amanda modules I try crashed immediately, is it a lib problem ? I try the "LIBPATH" variable hoping it is like SHLIB_PATH on HPUX, but with no success. Any help will be much appreciated. Regards JP Pozzi
Using amanda on AIX 5.2
Hello, I am new to these list and if I use amanda with Linux (at home), I have never used it with AIX. I have installed amanda on an AIX server at work, but amanda "core dumps" each I try it. Even "amcheck xxx" fail with core dump. I have installed all the stuff in /usr/local(bin, sbin, lib and libexec) but I don't know if the libs are already usable. I do not know AIX very well ... Is there something in AIX like ld.so.conf (linux) or SHLIB_PATH (HP) or LD_LIBRARY_PATH (OSF) ? Any help will be appreciated. Regards JP Pozzi
Amanda core dump on AIX
Hello, I am new to the list, I am using amanda at home (Linux) and it works very well, it is not very simple to start ... I want to use at my work with 2 servers on AIX 5.2. I have downloaded the package from AIXPDSLIB and installed it, inetd.conf should be OK, amanda.conf should be also OK. When I try to launch amdump it fails with coredump without any message, how can I get some path to get a solution ? 2 P5 systems with 2 procs and one single LTO2 unit. Regards JP Pozzi PS : I forgot "amcheck" ! I will try it tomorrow

FROM Dr. ILOKA GET BACK TO ME
FROM: ESPACE CABINET MEDICAL NO 5 AVI MARIE ROAD LOME TOGO Dear, sir My name is Dr. ILOKA a medical doctor and the sole proprietor of the above specialist hospital. Iunderstand that through internet is not the best wayto link up with you because of the confidentiality which the transaction demands. However, I have already sent you this same letter by post one month ago, but I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not heard from you, hence my resending it again. I have a widow here in my hospital who is on a political assylum in Togo refugee camp. She has been so ill for some couple of months now. This woman confided in me based on the free medical attention I have been giving to her and her children. She had revealed to me of her life history and about her late husband who was a top military officer in one of the west African country (Sierra-Leone) before his death during the civil war and the fortune she inherited from her late husband. She has asked me to source a credible and trustworthy partner abroad who will manage her funds for investment, the sum of Twenty Eight Million US Dollars (US$28m) which her late husband deposited in a safe fiduciary agent in Europe through a security company based in lome Togo. I wish to chose you for this venture and I believe you will be in the position to assist in managing this large sum in a profitable ventures and also to help create a safe haven for her and her children by making a residence arrangement for them in your country. After she had disclosed this information to me, I saw the reason to request from her all the documents relating to this deposit of which she did, now I have the documents covering the deposit which I will not hesitate to fax to you the copies as a proof for your confirmation as soon as I receive your response via e-mail. I am obliged to assist this lady knowing too well that she has a limited knowledge in the business world and as such she cannot manage this funds herself, and in order to avoid any trace of her by the government, I will need from you a mutual understanding and then we shall make plans on how the funds would be secured into an account in your name;after which you will arrange and travel immediately to meet with the security company's Agency in Europe for clearing. This amount is contained in a sealed trunk box and it is registered and declared as containing family treasures, so even as I am writing you now the security company and its agency are not aware that there is cash money in the trunk. Let me assure you that this transaction is 100% hitch and risk free; from my discussion with her, she has agreed to give you a reasonable amount of percentage for your involvement in this deal, and this has to be discussed upon the receipt of your quick response. Thanks and God bless you for your understanding, Best regards, Dr. Gil ILOKA

lurk mode off...amanda time-frame question
Q on amt of time to implement amanda?! After chatting with my manager, I have to ask the list a bunch of painfully obvious questions: 1) How long should it take someone to get amanda up and running. (5 minutes, 5 days, 5 weeks?) 2) How much of what is required by amanda, compared to buying a commercial product? i.e., is much of the configuration work that I've done in Amanada "magically" done by commercial programs? 3) have any of you (I hope, please help me...) configured any competing commercial products, and is it simpler?/Faster? 4) Is it just me who needs my head examined? 5) does it sound to you (too) that I need to find another job? My boss (after thinking this has been painless *) has complained that I told her it would take a week to get the system up and running with backups. Of course the guy who was doing backups before (he gave them to me to do last week) was taking 4 hrs every friday afternoon to copy files to his pc and cut 4 CDROMS. but he had PHYSICAL media, which she likes. ** So I gave the following schedule to my boss, which she grudgingly accepted: Monday:, perform direct hardware backups to tape, restore, test copied ok both ways. Tuesday: install, compile software, get installed software correctly running on server, test backup of server Wednesday:, install client software (on another server), test backup from server. Thursday: adjust # tapes, scheduling information. Add more clients Friday :installing SAMBA on server, setting up drive share so that it's accessible to tape system for backups. SO: (I thought I padded this schedule enough to get me done and completed with plenty of time, but NO... Another question: was this NOT a adaquate time estimate? so first thing: On monday, tests went fine, started to install a few of the following packages: package ` version gnuawk 3.10 gccCompiler 3.3 gnuplot 3.71 make 3.80 mtx 1.2.17 ncurses 5.3. perl 5.8.0 popt 1.7 readline 4.3 samba 2.2.8a tar 1.13 and of course amanda 2.4.4p1 **Mistake** I took Tuesday off, but wasn't reflected in schedule. time to shoot myself. Wed Morning, finish installing other packages, installed amanda. HA. (See other message about 2.4.4.P1 AND the version.info function.) Thursday, got programmer to help me compile amanda 2.4.4.p1 ok finally. started to edit all amanda config files. Friday: started amtapetype, did amcheck., fixing problems. still no "formal" backup yet. *Painless (HA!: remember? (LVD vs HVD scsi (6 days to resolve/discover already had hardware), and other personal faux pases? I do. ** and after getting the task, I took about 6 hrs, automated it to run daily, and SSH/SCP'd the files to a unused machine. Thereby getting DAILY backups.. BUT ... she doesnt see media, so doesnt like that ___ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

uninitialized value in printf
Hi Jean-Louis, Version is Amanda 2.4.3 running on 2.4.19-r6 Gentoo linux, ppc. (there's no Amanda ebuild script available for Gentoo, btw, if anyone more capable than I is interested in hacking one up:o)) To be more descriptive, these errors appear after I initiate a dump then call amstatus...amstatus shows the errors at the top of the page, then the normal array of info about the dump. Nothing actually dumps, though, and the tape machine just winds away into oblivion...never finding whatever destination/fm it seeks. Attached please find the amdump file requested. IP's, hostname, and paths have been xxx'd or altered to protect the innocent. Thanks!!

Subject: RAIT and chg-manual
User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i
Precedence: bulk
There has been alot of discussion lately on how to use
RAIT. I have attempted to setup rait on my site and I haven't had
much success.
I have and AIT-3 Overland library system that can hold 38 tapes.
My setup is like this I split the library system in have the first 18
slots and its drive belong to a certain number of hosts. The other
half is meant for one host ane one host alone.
The first have uses one tape device and the chg-zd-mtx tape
changer and that works well. When I tried to configure RAIT
with chg-manual I am getting prompted to insert tapes that are
already in the library.
Here is an example
bash-2.04$ ~/sbin/amcheck-2.4.3b3 bric2

RAIT and chg-manual
There has been alot of discussion lately on how to use
RAIT. I have attempted to setup rait on my site and I haven't had
much success.
I have and AIT-3 Overland library system that can hold 38 tapes.
My setup is like this I split the library system in have the first 18
slots and its drive belong to a certain number of hosts. The other
half is meant for one host ane one host alone.
The first have uses one tape device and the chg-zd-mtx tape
changer and that works well. When I tried to configure RAIT
with chg-manual I am getting prompted to insert tapes that are
already in the library.
Here is an example
bash-2.04$ ~/sbin/amcheck-2.4.3b3 bric2
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
WARNING: holding disk /home/holding: only 768305316 KB free (933160960 KB requested)
amcheck-server: slot 22: rewinding tape: No such file or directory
insert tape into slot 23 and press return
In the changerdebugfile this is what it shows.

Re: New tape nonsense
John please forgive my assumptions. But I still don't understand. If tapecycles are defined by number of tapes. How is possible to double runspercycle if its meaurement is in weeks. *Relizes that he will get slammed for this but still confused* Craig Hancock > In another posting you asked about why it is recommended that tapecycle > be at least 2x runspercycle.

If I understand this correctly once a tape goes through an entire tape cycle it will be overwritten. So say a tape with 100G capacity has 60 gigs on it. If my tapecycle was at 4 weeks then when the tape in question is loaded after 4 weeks does amanda start at the point were the tape is meaning the last track it left off on or is the taped rewind. SO (and this is just an observation) after the dumpcycle is done the best practice would be to offload your tapes offsite.

Well I put 4 weeks because it was preposed that we do a full backup once a month. The amount of data that I am dealing is 2.1TB If I understand you creectly if I shorten it to something like 1 week then it will be eaiser forme to do a restore.

If I choose 7 then your right I am going to have to strech it out but I am not sure how to do this. With the size of data that I am dealing with this will seem terribly complicated.

I think you added three because of the option I have runtapes.

What do you mean play catch up with that for one dumpcycle or maybe two. Forgive me lack of sleep but the Sentence starting with Watching the tape usage is confusing. Your scenerio states you have a 46gig drive and that your full backups is about 2gigs in capcity is that accurate.

Re: New tape nonsense
> "tapes in my library are not full" is not a useful thing to say about > amanda; amanda over-writes each tape, *never* appends. > This message was from a previous message sent by Jay. I understand that amanda doesn't do appends of backups. However I wasn't aware that a complete backup get overwritten. The reason I ask this is because I thought that during backup you have a brand new tape. If your first full backup excceds the capcity of the tape amanda will report the area and amanda will rewind the tape to the begining of the tape. So say if you have a tape with a few backups on it if the next backup exceeds the capcity of the tape then is the statement above saying that once preexisting backup reaches the end of the tape then will amanda rewind the tape and write over the old backups?

New tape nonsense
Hello all I have a Overland Library AIT-3 system that holds 40 tapes. I split the library into 2 configs. One config has 20 the other has 20. I have been runing my tape library system sense august. I am now at the point were amanda is request a new tape. I interpret this message as All the tapes you have in your library are full please use a new blank tape. But I know for a fact that all the tapes in my library are not full meaning I have more space to put on them. Also in my tapelist file each tape is marked to be reused so I don't understand why it wants a new tape. If anyone one can shed any light I'd greatly appriciate it.

Are you SURE there are no errors? I tested this yesterday. It
appears that sendbackup only logs the errors tothe debug file in
/tmp/amanda. Also, each sendbackup process overwrites this file.
It also appears that this doesn`t support excludes. Amandad reports
the standard exclude list path, but I couldn,t get it to work.
You previously mentioned that amanda maps the archive bit to the UNIX
execute bit. It is actually the win32 tar that does this. I believe
Samba also doed this to help preserve the Windows permissions.
This appears to be early alpha quality software, not ready for
production. Unfortunately, it also appears to be abandoned :-(

Questions
After much experimentation I have finally succesfully created an amanda backup. But I have not been able to figure if these features are possible. 1) I currently have enabled 4 dumps at a time. What I understand this meaning is the option inparallel does 4 cleint dumps at a time. If I have a disklist of 18 disk does that mean that all 18 disk get backed up to one tape or does that mean that every 4 disk get backed up to tape. 2) When sendszie is executed to estimate how big a directory or disk is is it possible to have sendzie work with the process that dumps to tape to judge if a directory is to big for that tape and load another tape for that backup 3) Is it possible just to do fiolesize estimateions before issueing amdump. What I am trying to accomplish is to do estimations and have amdump pick up were it left off to save time. 4) In regards to number 1 to elevate this problem I have been doing amdump "configureationname" partition. I am doing this for each disk in my disk list is it possible to have certain disk go to one tape and then push otehr disk to go on the second tape.

changer.conf
I am just curious all the people that use amanda on this list what changer do you prefer. I am currently using chg-zd-mtx, but highly thinking about changing my problem is this I am trying to create 2 configs one setup for directories that don't change very much and another config for directories or host that modifiy data alot. So since I ahve a 40 tape library unit with 2 tapes inside it. I split the library in half( for now) and use one tape drive for each config. When I specify the first slot in my changer.conf file on the second config it seems to always load the tape in slot one and not in slot 19 and I don't understand why. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appricated Craig Hancock -- -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9P+Y5awsElDuSDs0RAgxoAJ40NBfXWSP5dwsRK6AWZRXP6fNm+wCgpWf4 MwLEwsq3TDVGR8ntq3+w65k= =qTeY -END PGP SIGNATURE-

Backing the backup server
I am trying to backup the backup server in amanda and I am a little confused on how to go about it from the documentation you setup a .amandahosts file on the server and the client. Is an entry for the backup server need to be there. If so what should the connect as user be 1) amanda 2) root If this is not the case then how does one configure the backup server?

disklist and sub directories.
Hello all after playing with amanda all week I have finally gotten into a situation were my entry in disklist file is to big. From what I've read amanda isn't smart enough to pick were it left off if it ran out of tape it will attempt to start from the begining again. Because of this I was thinking of making of these disklist. Origianally I have a disklist of /home/data but unfortantely is is 92G but tape can't write a complete 92 gigs. So I was thinking of spliting this in 3's 1) /home/data/directory 2) /home/data/directory2 3) /home/data What I would like is to do is backup 1) and 2) seperately, but once we get to 3 I don't want thost 2 directories to be backed up from disk 3 Now is this possible. Craig Hancock
sendsize
Is it possible to to run sendize and then run amdump later. I have filesize directory that is extremely large and I want to perform the estimation first and then on another day I actually want to flush to tape is this possible. Craig Hancock
Re: amcheck Problem
Question on the client are you sure amanda daemon is running on the client check /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/amanda When you enabled the daemon did you restart the service Craig Hancock On Fri, Jul 19, 2002 at 10:26:47AM +0100, Burgess, Adam wrote: > When I run amcheck I get the following error > > Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check > > WARNING: localhost: selfcheck request timed out.
