Oh, well then. I thought it would email with an okay similar to the amcheck DailySet1.

Amcheck not emailing
I have a plain jane RedHat 7.3 server with amanda running. For some reason amanda is not sending out the mail report from amcheck -m DailySet1. I get the report after the backup has run. Anyone know where I should start to look at trouble shoot this?

Recommendations on Execution
I have a 140G RAID5 array that I would like to back up to my 20/40 DDS4 Seagate drive. Without a lot of experience with a drive this large, I've made a 100M /boot partition, a 2G swap partition (I have 1G of ram), and finally the rest of the drive ~137G set to /. I've allocated 20G to /tmp for a holding disk. I have set it to back up / every day. I have 5 tapes. I guess I should exclude /tmp and /var/tmp from the backup list so that it isn't backing up the tar file as well. Any other recommendations on this setup.

Excluding /tmp
How can I exclude /tmp and /var/tmp from being backed up? I would guess that I wouldn't need the contents of those directories backed up every night. Do I put an ! before the /tmp in disklist? -- -=/>Thom Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) running Linux Kernel 2.4.18-14 Uptime: 2:55pm up 2 days, 26 min, 1 user, load average: 1.26, 1.12, 1.16 Registered Linux User #214499 http://counter.li.org

backup configuration with tapes and runs
Greetings. I'm still confused with the configuration of the tapes, runs, and days. Basically I want a full backup every night at 8pm. I have 5 tapes, and I only want the backups on the weeknights. ie. mon-fri. I've configured the cron to do that much, but I don't understand how to get amanda to d oa full backup every night. Do I just set the number of tapes to 1? Or do I set the number of runs per cycle to 1? Thanks. -- -=/>Thom Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) running Linux Kernel 2.4.18-14 Uptime: 2:13pm up 1 day, 23:44, 1 user, load average: 1.04, 1.12, 1.42 Registered Linux User #214499 http://counter.li.org
