Have you done (are you doing) backups with different programs
(Arkeia, taper, tar etc) or other OSes than linux?
No. Yes. :)
yes, yes
If yes, what is your experience about backup speed?
Amanda is slow, compared to ufsdump/tar straight to tape, because amanda
does a lot more.

So it looks like amdump checks if there is enough space on the holding disk
before it starts dumping,
Yep.

Dear Sirs.
I run into problems with AMANDA backing up a large disk array (250 GB).
I use 'gnutar' as dumping tool defined by GTAR within amanda in the hope
that AMANDA is capable to spread a big backup image over several tapes
like TAR does this when used without AMANDA (multi volume facility).

Well, I would like to ask for some hints or simply a fact-statement:
Is AMANDA capable of spreading a large volume over several tapes with gtar
like gtar does this using the multivolume mechanism? How to configure
No
Hi,
I'm Arjan Molenaar, a Dutch sysadmin and currently implementing a backup
scheme based on Amanda.
This morging I checked out the Tapeio branch of Amanda. I noted that it
did not compile due to a typo in tape-src/tape-output.c. Browsing the
mailing list archive I came across a patch that

Does anyone have an amanda client for HP-UX 11.0? We are using Amanda
2.4.1p1. We now have several HPUX 11 machines but none with the HP
development environment. I cannot seem to build an amanda client with the
compiler that comes with the OS.
Thanks!

You need:

I am upgrading the OpenBSD binary package of Amanda. If you are willing
to test it, please let me know.

For those of you with tape changers and barcode readers: are any of you
using any software to generate your own custom barcodes? It seems like it
might be a bit nicer (for locating/moving tapes around) if the barcode label
could match what the tape label has.

Hi Ron,
I have a Brother P-touch 540 Extra that I use for making tape labels
which also does several types of barcodes. However, someone else will
have to verify whether the P-touch barcodes work with a changer or not
because my changers don't read barcodes.
I find using the P-touch a whole
When you tape them, are you covering over the barcode as well? I'm not
sure about all barcodes, but the one on my ADIC will not read one that
has tape over it.
You may want to check the docs with your reader, which should give the
requirements for barcodes it needs.

You do understand that setting runtapes to 2 does not mean you will use
