Does anyone know if amanda supports HP's Ultrium 215?
Does your OS / your SCSI host adapter support it? Then it will be ok.

The amanda.conf on the server used a dump rather than gnu tar and

Of course. I mean, what are you trying to do,
I have been trying to get Amanda v2.4.2p2 running on RH 7.1 for some
time now. It seems to be set up correctly. It was compiled from source.
I have it backing itself up and another Linux server. I have 10 tapes in
the cycle. Occasionally it backs everything up just right and mails me a
message.

We lost a hard drive, and thanks to amanda, we had a complete and timely
backup of it. The restore went great without a hitch, and the system was
back up and running the next day.
Hurrah for amanda!

Hi
All,
I have set up
Amanda version 2.4.2p2 and have been very successful at backing
things up (I think). But when I go to do an amrecover there are no index
files.
So off I went
looking in the amanda index directory and low and behold there are no index
files. What am I doing wrong?

Yup, that was it, should have read the rest of the conf file.
Thanks

Probably not in the way you'd like (if I'm reading between the lines well

Amanda is responsible for determining what filesystems get dumped to
tape. If a filesystem has not changed why does amanda still dump it?
Back to what Bernhard brought up -- how would Amanda know nothing had
changed? Amanda knows **nothing** about the format of the images it is
saving for you.

You need to use the -d flag on amrecover.

Can anybody tell me why ufsdump is being used instead of vxdump?
Amanda makes that decision based on what's in your /etc/vfstab file.
What does the disklist entry for this disk look like (i.e. are you telling
Amanda the mount point or a /dev entry?)? What does the corresponding
