The idea is to have enough tapes for two complete dump cycles, so 11

Is amanda capable of backing up mounted filessystems?
That's the wrong question. Amanda doesn't do backups. Amanda runs other
programs that do backups. So you need to ask if whatever backup program
you told Amanda to use (e.g. GNU tar, ufsdump or whatever) is capable.
And the answer will be
amcleanup send an email with an empty report and don't remove the
indication that is still running an amdump or amflush.
What happens if you run amreport by hand, **as the Amanda user**, with
just the config name as an arg:
su amanda -c amreport config
Does it complain about anything?

it should have seen the -1 and used

Hello,
I wonder if there is a nice and automatic way to run amanda using 2
sets of tape. I want to use one set one week and the other set the
other week. Lets call them DailySet1 and DailySet2.
Of course this should be automatic (i.e. only one amanda.conf) as it
will be run from cron.

I noticed that my in paralel option in amanda.conf was set to 4.
Maybe that could be the source of my problem (at least it would explain
a bandwith overload). I'm only wondering if it affects the dump of
multiple partitions on the same system or if it is only influencing
dumps on

Hi,

Probably. It's not easy getting Amanda compiled with debugging in the
