Re: newbie problems
Hi Yogish. It would seem that the permissions on you holding disk are not correct. Did you try chown amanda:amanda /home/tmp to give amanda permission to write to the disk?

Dumps way too big...
I recently added a directory to be backed up and this is the message that
I get..
I have a holding disk with 15GB space (reserving 30% for degraded mode
dumps) and I am using a Surestore DAT 24 tape drive with DDS-3 tapes.
I saw the work around in the FAQ, but google turned up this
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amanda-users/message/30947
which said that it may have something to do with the tape definition which
is...
define tapetype HP-DAT24 {
comment HP SureStore DAT 24 #disabled compression
length 12288 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 1024 kbytes
}
So, it would seem that even if the Level 1 dump is 5.8 gigs (according to
the planner) I shuold be able to handle it.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
Thanks and best regards,
Jason Pickering

Re: Problems with amrecover
First of all, thanks for your help Jon. On Mon, 16 Jun 2003, Jon LaBadie wrote: Hi, the body of you message refers to dumping and flushing. Why a subject about amrecover??? Oops..this was before my first cup of coffee this morning. ;-) Indeed, the title of my mail should be Problems with amflush!. Sorry about that. Here is why I guessed nothing to dump. This suggests that during your dump, 100% (the default) of the holding disk was reserved for degraded mode dumps. Everything had to go direct to tape. As there was no tape and no holding disk, there would not have been any dumps available for amflush. If my guess is correct, rethink the setting of your reserve parameter. Indeed, this enabled me to flush those degraded dumps to tape. I had this line commented out in my original configuration file. Thanks so much for the speedy and accurate response!

Problems with amrecover
Hello amanda users... This problem has happened several time to me, and I have trawled through the archives here, but haven't found any solution really. I forgot to put the correct tape in last night, and unfortunately, amflush won't dump my backup to tape. Here is what i get (see below). Can anybody tell me how to get those backups onto tape and have my database be correctly updated?
