Error with barcode reader Email Message
Hi. I'm having a little trouble understanding why everytime I run amcheck or amdump I receive a large email with the subject "Error with barcode reader on Fri ..." and contains a list full of enties like:- Fri Nov 8 10:38:05 GMT 2002 Invoked with args '-info' STATUS -> currently loaded slot = -1 INFO -> current slot -1, last slot 9, can go backwards 1 Fri Nov 8 10:38:05 GMT 2002 Invoked with args '-search BacypMis12' SEARCH -> WARNING!!! BacypMis12 not found in current ADIC- barcodes database. -> WARNING!!! Check your typing, and/or update the database. >From my point of view, the barcode reader is working perfectly. I can still run inventory commands etc. Even when amcheck is running the autoloader still looks for and locates the correct tapes but when either amcheck or amdump begin, amanda sends out the message! Any ideas would be most welcome Thank you!
Adding new clients
Hi, I am reletively new to Amanda but I have taken over responsibility of doing the backups. I have just created a new configuration to run monthly backups and the folder contains copies of the files such as amanda.conf from the other config folder for daily backups. I have added a new client into the disklist and it's access password in the amandapass file. When I run amcheck on the new configuration, amcheck throws up the following error appears:- "ERROR: info file /var/lib/amanda/BackupMonth/curinfo/Neli/__nlserver_d$/info: not readable" This only happens when the new client is in the disklist. Have I forgotten to do other things with setting up new clients? Thank you
Errors with amrecover
After the help I received yesterday I continued to try to get amrecover to work. I set the host and disk correctly and specified the correct tape drive using the amrecover -d command. The problem I am now having is that when I type in the extract command the following message appears:- amrecover> extract Extracting files using tape drive /dev/st0 on host Neli. The following tapes are needed: BacypDydd21 Restoring files into directory /root Continue? [Y/n]: y Load tape BacypDydd21 now Continue? [Y/n]: y EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file on Neli. amrecover: short block 0 bytes UNKNOWN file amrecover: Can't read file header extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 Continue? [Y/n]: y amrecover> While this appears on the screen there is no activity from the tape drive at all so it does not check to see if the tape is there. Any help with this problem would be greatly welcomed.
