SUN system backup

Hi, I use Amanda with a Hexabyte DLT changer on a Linux backup server to backup a Linux network. To recover in case of a crash we use a Systemimager server that allows us to put a server on line in a very short amount of time and restore the dat from amanda to easily get an image of the last

Performance Tuning

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hi Amanda-users, we are currently trying to improve performance (= speed) of our amanda installation. I would like to address to problems: First the writing speed to tape and second the speed of the dumping process. The short question is: How do i configure

Ext2, Amanda und dumps larger than 2 Gb

Hi Amanda-Users-folks, I recently discovered a severe problem with Amanda, which I don't really know how to solve. The problem in detail is: I've backuped a partition of about 3Gb data. This was no problem, due to the fact, that Amanda wrote a gzipped version on the holding disk. The report said

Hi, Following up my own post. I downloaded forte for C from sun, compiled sst as the 64bit version and have that working. amtape could read the label off a tape in the drive. However, after I unmounted the tape, I could not get any other tapes mounted (it thinks all the slots are

Re: Ext2, Amanda and dumps larger than 2 Gb

Now, when I try to restore from this tape Amanda fail, because the file it retrievs is bigger than 2Gb, which is the limit of ext2 under Linux. Use amrestore -c $TAPE ... It will put a gzipped image to your hard disk.

Re: Performance Tuning

Hi Christoph, Some informations about the hardware we use: The backup server is a Athlon 1GHz PC with 256MB Ram and SCSI harddrives (holding disk is IDE), network is 100MBit switched. Most backup clients are Pentium I wonder is IDE holding disk is the best solution, did you check i/o
