Hi,
I have just got Amanda set up on a server at client machine.
Can anyone help me out with a few questions
1) How do I go about creating a permanent archive of tapes?
I actually want to dump newly created files to tape each at dump via
amanda
(i.e no incrementals, always fulldumps).
I tried

Those are two different changers.
You want to put:
eject 1
in your chg-scsi config file (or change it from zero to one if the line
is already there).

Either use "-f" on amlabel, or use amrmtape.

First of all, I believe you :-). But could you send me the whole E-mail
report you got (up to the "DUMP SUMMARY") and also amdump.NN file?
They are probably pretty large, so just to me and not the whole list

It's amreport that generates the E-mail.

Please forgive the cross-post. It happens to be on a topic that
gets discussed in amanda-users quite often, not to mention being

hi. Since the Amanda 2.4.2 INSTALL file requests "PLEASE send mail to

suggestions/notes during my install.
First, though, in the INSTALL or README, say that understanding all one

hi. If you're running Linux and want to buy a disaster recovery cdrom
that includes amanda, the book _Linux Problem Solver_ by Brian Ward, No

Hello,
I have a question about dumpcycle/tapecycle and reusing tapes. Firstly I
have dumpcycle = 7, and tapecycle = 40. I used 40 because I wanted a
months worth of tapes before I reuse a tape, + 10 for extra tapes. Is
this logic ok? Tomorrow I want to reuse tape 1. Can I just put tape 1 in

Instead of chg-scsi, try using chg-zd-mtx. That's what I use.

Hi All,
Has anybody come across this before. Amanda appears to be working fine,
but has stop mailing reports out after backups or flushes. I have tested
mailing service on the server and they appear fine. Also what is the
script that runs the mailed report?
best regards
