Re: Can't get my HP DAT72i to work
Config error? Why does amanda think your tape drive is /dev/null? What did you tell it in amanda.conf? Hi again! How stupid can I be, yes of course I had forgot to define tapedev! My mistake - sorry /Christoffer <>
Can't get my HP DAT72i to work
Hi!
My setup is like this:
OS: Fedora Core 2
Kernel: 2.6.5
Amanda ver.: Amanda-2.4.4p2
Tape drive: HP DAT 72i
SCSI adapter: Adaptec 29160B Ultra160
When I want to label my tapes Amanda gives me this error:
bash-2.05b$ amlabel DagligRotation Band-02
rewinding
amlabel: tape_rewind: rewinding tape: /dev/null: Inappropriate ioctl for device
In amanda.conf I have defined a tapetype based on:
bash-2.05b$ amtapetype -e 35G -f /dev/tape
define tapetype unknown-tapetype {
comment "just produced by tapetype prog (hardware compression on)"
length 30103 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 2550 kps
}
What is wrong?

Hi Paul! Now I have a poster hanging above my desk saying: "Man of the day: Paul Bijnens" I tried your "workaround nr. 1", but it didnt work, but it gave me a clue, here is the workaround: setdisk /home/files cd " MAGS" So why I can't use: setdisk "/home/files/ MAGS" is strange, but most important; it works!! So thanks again!!! - Christoffer <>
Problems with amrecover and file path
Hi! I should recover some files from a directory, but I can't get into the directory. The path is: /home/files/\ \ MAGS/ or "/home/files/ MAGS/", here is what I do: #amrecover daily amrecover> setdisk /home/files/\ \ MAGS Mount point "\" invalid - must start with / Invalid command - parse error amrecover> How can I do that - PLEASE HELP - I'm about to be killed by my boss Regards, Christoffer <>
Re: Amanda win32 Client
Hi Jon! Thank you for your reply! Does that mean that it isn't possible to backup Windows Client with Amanda? Ones again, thank you very much for your reply! - Christoffer tir, 2003-09-02 kl. 17:33 skrev Jon LaBadie: Not an authoritative answer by any means, so I make it off list.
Amanda win32 Client
Hi I have tried the Amanda win32 Client. My question is: can I only do a backup of an entire drive and not a specified folder? Best regards Christoffer

The Tapes says: 40/80GB And my tapedrive is a HP Surestore DAT40I (http://amanda.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/fom?_highlightWords=hp%20surestore&file=132) Thanks Christoffer
What cause this error?
Hi!
I'm starting to get the same error more and more often, but I don't know
what is causing it?
When I run amcheck, I get this:
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
Holding disk /var/tmp: 13484300 KB disk space available, that's plenty
NOTE: skipping tape-writable test
Server check took 1.396 seconds
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.756 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)

But when I run the actually backup I get this back:
These dumps were to tape daglig3.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: Input/output error]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk.
Run amflush to flush them to tape.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: daglig1.

How do I force Amanda do the backup
Hi! My setup looks like this: I have 5 tapes, and I would like to do a backup every working day (monday to friday), therefor my amanda.conf looks like: dumpcycle 5 runspercycle 5 tapecycle 5 tapes Is that right?? Next I would like Amanda to do a full dump every day therefor I have put "dumpcycle 0" in my "define dumptype". The last thing is that I dont wont Amanda to look at the label of tape, if there is a tape in the drive it should do the backup no matter what - How do I tell Amanda that?? Please help - Christoffer
