The standard trick is to call either amtape CONFIG eject

I'm sorry, I made a mistake. The hardware compression was off
all the time. :(
That's exactly what it looked like ;)
Hehe, do you know what's funny?

Obviously make sure you have amanda and amanda-client installed on the client,

Replying to my own messgae is bad form, I know, but I left out the fact
that when I run amverify on the tape(s0 in question, they recognize that
the dumps were created by vxfdump.

This is exactly what we are thinking of doing at my site.
We are looking at a trival method of dividing up the amanda

With lots of local disk, fiber channel... this sort of makes
sense and will allow us to utilize both of our

Apologies for the level of this question, I'm sure the answer is around on

This patch works great. Thanks for your time/efforts.

That will work very easily. No special (source code) work required.

You have used it (via amrecover), you just didn't know it :-).

The alternative is to purchase a third party interface for each Oracle

Hi Guys!
I have the odd tape that fills up from AMANDA. Since I have a limited
number of tapes on hand, how does one safely clean out the contents of
that tape and reuse it under AMANDA?
Thanks ... Mike

Err, I'm not quite sure what any of this means. By default,
Opps, my mistake! Maybe I didn't clarify. AMANDA was running out of tape
at the end of a few runs. I think I will let it run *as is* and see if
it happens again. If so, I'll just run amflush and see if it fits on the
next tape.
Thanks ... Mike

Hi all
Has anyone tried backing up os-x boxes using Amanda and hfspax?
I'd be happy to hack at it (in the most amateurish way) if someone would

- it doesn't have any parallelism at all, so it gains no concurrency
advantages; it simply loops among the data set members, does one
write, blocks, does the other, etc then write the parity tape.
Correct. To do parallelism at user level would require something like a
shared memory

- the #ifdef NO_AMANDA stuff is pretty much exact duplication.
Anyone consider just moving this out into a library instead of
duplicating whole routines in rait-*.c ?
Yes, but Marc Mengel really (really :-) wanted to keep the code
