   You could also just create the DailySet1 directory, make a copy
 of your disklist and amanda.conf, update the paths and labelstr in
 the new config, label tapes for it, and just start running the new
 config instead of the old one. Then you would have the old backups
 to restore from if you need them.  Later on you could relabel the
 old tapes and add them to your new config.

i will try this.

  3. why does amdump refuse to mail the backup reports to me, when i put
  this line in amanda.conf (remove CR/LF to get one line):
 
  columnspec
  HostName=1:-1,Disk=1:-1,Level=1:-1,OrigKB=1:-1,OutKB=1:-1,Compress=1:-1,
 DumpTime=1:-1,DumpRate=1:-1,TapeTime=1:-1,TapeRate=1:-1
 
  i think, this should give me 10 columns, each with one space on the left
  and the width dynamically resized to fit the largest entry.

 I've never used the negative entries, but assuming that they normally work
 I would take a wild guess that it might be the 'Level' column, since
 that is always 1 character wide.  Since you only need to specify the
 columns you want to change from defaults, try just modifying one column
 first, see how that runs, then add one more, etc., till you get it like
 you want or find what breaks it.


amreport is segfaulting with this columnspec. i changed it to read

columnspec Disk=1:-1

now it runs fine.

greetings,

as i am finished with testing amanda, i wish to put it in production now.
there are 3 questions i couldn't answer by searching the archives:
1. how do i add tapes to the tape cycle?

2. how do i rename an amanda configuration? let's say from TestSet to 
DailySet1?

3. why does amdump refuse to mail the backup reports to me, when i put this 
line in amanda.conf (remove CR/LF to get one line):

columnspec 
HostName=1:-1,Disk=1:-1,Level=1:-1,OrigKB=1:-1,OutKB=1:-1,Compress=1:-1,DumpTime=1:-1,DumpRate=1:-1,TapeTime=1:-1,TapeRate=1:-1

i think, this should give me 10 columns, each with one space on the left and 
the width dynamically resized to fit the largest entry.

the amanda-version in use is 2.4.2p2 (debian-packages).

thanks
