One simple way would be to do this a few hours before the real amdump run: amadmin config tape | Mail -s Amanda tapes needed whoever I choose to do that using amcheck instead I see several advantages: it emails automatically, check the tape status, check the clients... I taught my guys to

RE: chg-scsi

Hi Gene, Here's what I did. I went to the sourceforge site to the following link: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/amanda/amanda-2/changer-src/ I then downloaded each file and replaced the changer-src directory on my machine with what I downloaded. I ran ./configure from the

Gene, Sorry for this chain of e-mails, but different thoughts keep popping into my head. One thing I should mention to you in case you didn't see it in other e-mails is that I'm using a Compaq TL891 Tape Library, not a Seagate product. Do you think the chg-scsi interface is what I should be

Re: help: problems building Amanda 2.4.2p2 on HP-UX v10.20

Here's the configure command I've used to build Amanda 2.4.2p2 on two HP-UX 10.20 machines (an aging 735/99 and a newer K460) with no trouble: ./configure --with-user=amanda --prefix=/opt/amanda-2.4.2p2 \ --localstatedir=/var/opt --with-configdir=/etc/opt/amanda \ --with-amandahosts

Re: FW: chg-scsi

I've just been through this (ie. using the newer, supported chg-scsi from the 2.5.0 cvs development source with an amanda-2.4.2p2 server) so the procedure is fresh in my mind. Here's what you do. - build and install your 2.4.2p2 server - get the 2.5.0 source via cvs - first, login to cvs server

Hi and thanks for the help. --From John R. Jackson-- I'm not sure that's what's going on. Note the following: driver-idle: no-diskspace As far as I can tell from the code, Amanda will run everything it can before those with a delay (but see below). The problem is, the best client

Cannot execute runtar after upgrade: Redhat 6.2 -- 7.1

Greetings. We recently upgraded one of our Amanda servers to Redhat 7.1 (from Redhat 6.2), and we experienced some difficulties with the backup after that. In particular, Amanda was suddenly unable to execute runtar on the server itself!. (I.e., it isn't a question of root access to

Re: starttime weirdness

Well, I only ever want to write to tape when running this config and so have not specified a holding disk at all. Oh. Well that explains a few things :-). Given this, how would you think Amanda would then behave? As I said, I'm just guessing based on a quick read of the code, but I think if

Re: [Fwd: amdump taking over a day to complete]

John, I tried running dump by itself and it turns out that dump on the tape server was the problem. I upgraded to the latest version (dump-0.4b19-5.6x.i386.rpm) and everything is working fine now. Once again, a problem not with amanda but with something else. Many thanks for your
