 I still think that there might be some value in looking at your
 chg-multi.conf, it kind of sounds like backups aren't doing what is
 expected, so amrecover is unable to do its thing. If you could post that
 config, it might be enlightening.

 That sounds like a real tape rather than a virtual file tape.
 Did you/Do you do backups to real tape too?
 Have you converted this config from a real tape drive to disk-based?
 

it is only looking for a virtual file tape.  i have had it working
before and it got changed somewhere while i was trying to get the samba

   Not really necessary -- amanda can use smbclient to backup 'doze clients 
   that aren't mounted.  If you want it mounted all the time, you can just 
   use tar to back up the mount point.

 Can you access your file tapes using things like the amtape command?
 Does it show you the correct tape is loaded and has a good header?
 
 If that can not be done, no reason to try other things.
 
 When amrecover said load . now did you actually load the
 correct file tape before answering y?
 That message is not so much a question but a directive.

yes i can use the amtape command and i am also sure that the correct
tape is loaded.  the most recent error that i am now getting is as
follows:

FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:

this happens when i run an amdump.


smbtar question

2003-12-29 Thread jessica blackburn
Is anyone using smbtar?  If so you could send me a copy of your conf
file.  I'm getting the error: 

/etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf, line 412: backup program
/usr/bin/smbtar unknownamcheck: errors processing config file
/etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf

and my conf file states that the only valid values for program are
DUMP and GNUTAR.  Just wondering how others were backing up windows
systems.

Thanks!!

 I take it that you are not aware that the NT filesystem is rated read 
 only by the linux drivers?  I do not know if thats because its such a 
 moving target, or if doing the correct write things requires using 
 something patented by M$.
 
 However, I'd investigate the latest cifs, aka samba stuff, and see if 
 a bridge could be built using it.  Make sure you are using the latest 
 cifs release on the NT box, and the latest samba 3.0something on the 
 amanda server.  That might have a chance of working.
 
 There is also another group whose name escapes me ATM, who have had 
 some success getting amanda as a client to work on windows boxes, so 
 you might want to investigate that route too.


Re: NT backup

2003-12-23 Thread jessica blackburn
I think im using the amanda win32 because i could get samba to see the
files of the MS box but not back them up. so, i moved on the try the
win32.  do i need to use samba and win32 together?  or just one over the
other?  and if so which is better?

 This looks an awful lot like an amanda-win32-client error. Are you
 sure you're actually using samba in your disklist? It should look
 like
 
 machine_with_smbclient //hccdevelop03/c$ user-tar
 
 if it looks like
 
 hccdevelop03 /mnt_c user-tar
 
 you're still using win32 client

 It looks to me like Amanda thinks you are using files instead of
 tapes (or the restore needs to be done from the holdingdisk), and
 that it needs /file1 which doesn't seem to exist.
What does your amanda.conf look like?

Where is it looking for the hostname??  i have it set in both my
disklist and .amandahosts to hccweb.  where else would it need to be
set?

thanks again!

  thanks for your time!
 
 Since amandad starts on the client, have you checked the /tmp/amanda
 debug files on that system?


Problem Labeling tapes

2003-11-26 Thread jessica blackburn
Hello!  I'm a college intern trying to install AMANDA as our backup
system.  I'm running into problems with the slots being empty.  I run
the  /usr/lib/amanda/chg-multi -slot advance and then get the result
2 /dev/null  

After this I try to run su - amanda -c /usr/sbin/amlabel DailySet1
DailySet100 slot 1 and get the error amlabel: could not load slot 1:
chg-multi: slot is empty

Any help on this would be VERY greatful!!  Thanks!!  Have a great Turkey
day!
