Hello,
I use redhat7 with amanda 2.4.2p2 rpm.
I tryed to backup several servers by using holding disk. Without holding Disk the
backup works ok, but with holding disk, the backup hangs after an hour or two.
Is this a well known failure in this amanda version? How can I fix it?
Regards
I have been trying to make an archival tape configuration for some time now. I have tried numerous suggestions, but nothing seems to be effective in stopping Amanda from doing incremental backups. I am using Amanda 2.4.3b4.
The point of this configuration is to run once every 4 weeks and always

If I want to backup 2 partitions of the localhost in 2 tapes,
is that possible by doing something like that?

Hi
1.- If a single dump image (one disc partition) is longer than a tape,
amanda can't handle this. If multiple dump images dont fit in a tape
you can setup a changer-device=manual which will be a script you can write
to send an email, a terminal prompt, windows popup, sing a song or whatever
to

Some of the data we backup do not fit on a single tape
How do I handle that if we haven't got a changer??

Usually we do full backups only. We have 7 tapes, 5 weekday and 2
that are used as weekly tapes that are send to another
Thanks for your reply.
If I go according to your examples I need 2 config files.
When do you do your weekly backup?
Is the Daily backup only incremental?? I thought (may be I'm wrong) it
does full backup autotically depending on the dumpcycle size.
I can't find anything on the changer-device
Unfortunately the documentation on amanda is not up to

I've been trying for a few days now to get this thing to work. 8-(
I've gone through the archives but it is very hard sometimes
to find exactly what you are looking for.

Hi,
We have had Amanda running for a while now - just recently we re-booted our
server and are getting the following when AMCHECK is run - have I missed
something.

This has nothing
in my amanda.conf file I have the line:
reserve 10 # percent
which as I read the comments, means that amanda will still do full backups,
if they'll fit in the other 90% of the 80GB disk I'm using as a 'holding'
disk.

My guess is that amandad is not running. Check the inetd.conf and
services to make sure they are correct.

You've got it backwards, the 10% you reserved is used for fulls, the other
90% is used for incrementals.
hmmm, the comments read completely the opposite of that, but I'll give it a
try.
thanks much!

It seems a little off but works.
Make sure compression is turned off on the drive or you will
only get about 44GB on a tape.

If you have enough holding disk, don't configure a changer and specify an
