Brandon makes some good points. I'll add a couple points of my own that
some may take for granted:
o For a user interface to be friendly, it has to in fact be runnable.
Window system interfaces tend not to work well on text consoles or in
environments where the user is running on a different mac

Gene made some points but not all I agree with.
Friendly user interface (not necessary "fancy" GUI) is a measure of all
good quality software products. Amanda is not beyond the scope of this

I'm using Amanda 2.4.4 and attempting to setup a backup routine that dumps the backups

If you are attempting to re-label a tape that has already been labelled
by amlabel, then you might try the amlabel-f . This will
force it to re-write the label.
I guess it could also be a problem with the regex in amanda.conf or some
other settings in the same.

I recently installed amanda on my network to backup a couple of my dev
boxes. I understand that a tape must be labelled by amanda to be used
with the appropriate dump set, but when I follow the instructions in the
doc, amdump errors out saying that it cannot overwrite the active tape.

Hi everyone,
I need a little help to tune a backup plan with Amanda.
In my company we were used, before Amanda, to have this plan for our
main servers (each one with a dedicated tape device):
- a full backup was made every day from monday to friday but

Did anybody migrate Amanda server from FreeBSD to Linux ?
I can't read old tapes (that were written on FreeBSD).
If I load a tape with amtape:

Yes, i know about that option. But that is not the problem that i have.
Sorry for being inprecise.
I would like to tell amanda to disguise as a valid user, ie myself.
Is there any options that i can give to amanda so it uses these headers

My problem is that it i want it to send reports to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Hi Brian,
use configure with --pid-debug-files if you want and
look at sendbackup.debug and runtar.debug (or something like these).
I just catched [data read: Connection reset by peer] error but I don't
remember the solution.
Send me runtar.debug please.
Did you apply my gnu tar patch?
