Hi,
I am facing a problem , when trying to install amanda2.4.4. The first
step of installation procedure(i,e running ./configure )itself is giving
problem. When i run the ./configure i am getting the following output.
Further it is not creating any Makefile.
checking build system type...
Hallo all

I would like to create virtual tape on hard disk.
mkdir -p /data/backups/tape01/data
chown -R amanda.disk /data/backups
chmod -R 770 /data/backups

I get the following error :

Obviously the 2 files disappeared from disk betwenn the tar
check run
and the tar backup run.
That's all.
Everything else is save on your tape.
Maybe the disk content changed a bit between amanda's tar
run and your du ?

Amanda needs to know as which user it should run later,
e.g. amanda, backup,
operator or similar (usually take amanda and create that
user with group
operator or backup)
next problem would be --with-group=GROUP missing...,
here applies the same.

Hi,
a little tip:
in the amanda-source-dir is a file called INSTALL, it explains the steps
needed to configure, compile and install amanda.
Especialy it tells you, you have to supply the --with-user=backup-user and
--with-group=backup-group options to configure.
without these options amanda can
Hi,
thanks. it worked fine.

Hi
well like the error says you need to specify the --with-user flag. You
also need to specify the --with-group as well!
Have a look in the docs esp the oneline chapter from Backup and Recovery
mentioned on the amanda home page.

Note your own terminology, temp files.
gtar first looks at what has to be backed up then goes to back it up.

I'm trying to get a usable amanda client on AIX 4.3.3. I'm a complete
novice when it comes to AIX, unfortunately.
If I try to use a previously installed version of gcc (2.95.2), the
compile fails. This appears to be because the getconf LFS arguments for
CFLAGS, etc. used by configure don't work
Typically, it's been a busy condition of the filesystem that causes these
types of messages. Was there activity on the database during this backup
attempt?
BTW. Are you sure you archive the files? Archiving in the backup world means
to MOVE to tape therefore it no longer exists on the disk.

It's quite possible that there was a database-level backup happening at that time. Can
I find out when amanda tried to backup this partition? It doesn't show up in the
report and I'm a total noob with all the other tools.
BTW.
Is there a way to make amanda use a tape other than what it's expecting?
I have 15 tapes labelled 1 through 15. Last nights' backup failed
because it was expecting tape number 15, but tape number one was in the
drive. I'd like to be able to flush that backup to tape number one.

Yes. You can muck about in tapelist and change the last-used date of
a tape. amanda will always ask for the oldest (ties go to the tape
listed farthest down).

Greetings. I am using amanda to back up several clients, one of which
is an SGI Origin workstation. This client was recently rebuilt from
scratch to IRIX 6.5.19m (yesterday, as a matter of fact :), and I don't
know if the following problem was present prior to the rebuild (it

Thanks for the tip. I'm pretty much leaning toward a cronjob
solution at this point, unless someone can tell me exactly
how to modify this behavior.

I have installed Amanda on my server, and amcheck seems to check out OK,
but when it tries to communicate with the client(s) it can't, because
amandad isn't loaded on the server.
I read on the backupcentra.com documentation that the amanda client package
puts an entry in inetd.conf? If so, what
I'm guessing here, but it looks like the file name doesn't have a leading
slash in the archive, so you shouldn't put one in your 'add' command. Try
amrecover add lib
^ no slash here
and see what happens.
Good luck!
