was 2.4.2p2, so I thought that newer version might have better chg

Greetings.
I have encountered a weird problem. Everything's been running fine for
months; running a 15-tape rotation cycle and backing up maybe about 36
filesystems on about 8 servers or so.
But this morning, I get the e-mail which Amanda dutifully sends every
morning... it says:
According to John R. Jackson:
I have problem with amdump: host which I try to dump
does not respond (by time-out) but it is alive.

Did you run amcheck? What did it say?
If you get timeouts there, look at the FAQ at
Hi,
Thanks for the tips and sorry for this late answer (vacations :).
AIR you do have an eject=1 in the config file. I didn't need
that here. Try it without it, as in comment that out, just for

Hi ,
in my backup client ( y.net.in ) i have entries .rhosts /etc/hosts.equiv
as follows

my backup server is x.net.in
still it gives amcheck as below ( when done in server )
am i missing something ?
amcheck -cl output

Is there any way to get amanda to change its naming convention of files on
the tape? I'd like to have it use something like:
WINS_NAME_DIRECTORY.tar.gz
(Which brings me to my second q - is it possible to get amanda to make
tar.gz's instead of its own format? I've found some info on this but
Got me on this one..
The machine being backed up is a windows 98 machine with a share called

Hi everyone
I have a HP-DAT 24*6 tape drive attached to my amanda Back-up server. I
have few questions.
i) I had earlier labelled all the six tapes. Then I replaced one of the
tapes(slot 6) with the cleaning tape. I tried labelling the cleaning tape
with the same label that I gave for the
Use amrmtape to remove a tape from the tapelist. You may then relabel your

You'll need to 'touch' them the first time, and I believe the barcodes

Hello:
i know amanda does a check before dump data, but does it include a space

i wonder what happen if the fs are grater than the tape capacity, is the

The amcheck does not check tape space, only that there is a labelled tape.
It should know the amount of tape space available based on the tapetype
configured.
When the dump actually happens, amanda will first reduce full backups to
incremental backups if there is too much data for the tape size,
