index generation

Hello People! I have another problem, this time about indexing. When I start "amdump Daily" the backup-procedure works well but thereis index-file being created within the index-directory which is set to "/usr/adm/amanda/index". So what did I wrong? Greetings, Volker

re-index old tapes ?

Hi, When installing amanda, I set up a tape cycle of about 20 DAT2 tapes named TAPE01 to TAPE20. some months ago, I upgraded the streamer to DAT3, put the old DAT2 tapes away and labelled 20 new DAT3 tapes with the names TAPE01 to TAPE20. from the point of amanda's view, it was a seamless

Dump: dump-0.4b19-4 Hopefully, Redhat will have an updated RPM that is compatible with RH7.0. I've noticed not all their RPMs work on older installations, even one rev apart from their current release. Should that fail, anyone know where to get a generic dump/restore source? thanks, bryan

tar

Hi After being bitten by a problematic GNUTAR I'd like to make the following suggestion: In the amanda source distribution include a properly patched version of GNUTAR, that people can build and use regardless of the tar that came with the system and be sure that they are using a good and

Chewed Backups

Hi After completing the first dump cycle, I thought it was time to test Amanda, to make sure that I could restore in case of emergency. It's a good thing that I did. amrecover comes out with 'UNKNOWN file' whenever I try to restore anything. I read the docs and tried to read the headers, and

Re: re-index old tapes ?

the problem is: I urgently need to restore files from the old DAT2 tapes which are, of course, no longer in the current amanda index. Is there a possibility to re-index such tapes, even if they have the same label as a current one ? ... Amanda does not have a mechanism (although it should) to

Dumping to hd

Hi all, I would want to know if specifying holdingdisk yesin my dumptype will put my backup only on the holding disk without writting it on tape (which is exactly what i want). I'm asking this because i have 3 backup sets but only one tapedrive. One of the sets being daily and the other two

Re: Error while recovering files

Sometimes I get this errors while trying to recover from my tape. EOF, check amidxtaped.debug file on chino.master.com. So, what's in /tmp/amanda/amidxtaped*debug on chino.master.com??? Is this because I must format all tapes before I use them(they are all used by NTBackup previously)? You

RE: amanda - DATA timeout?

there's a sourceforge page on dump-restore: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1306 I was down a good four revisions...and redhat seems to still be shipping the same version...not that their website is worth much for finding patches, but... anyways, I'll try upgrading

Backup schedules

I'm attempting to expand my company's backup system to encompass more servers, and I'm a little confused as to how AMANDA handles multiple servers in rotation. For instance, I'd like to backup servers A B on the same tape every thursday, server C every tuesday, and server D on Mondays,

Sir, There is no such file in the /tmp/Amanda. Closes match is amidxtaped.debug. I'm not sure if I should do this. After I change each new tape early every morning, do I have to run amrmtape Daily Dailyxxx and then amlabel Daily Dailyxxx? Is there anyway I can just change the tape and then let

Re: Problems with amcheck and tape labels

John, Apparently I confused every one with my explanations. Of course I run amcheck BEFORE amdump, but that also means that amcheck is run after the previous amdump And the output of the amcheck on tape DailySet109 was just to prove that the tape does have a valid label! The problem
