Hello,
I've a problem with the chg-zd-mtx-Configuration. The Loader has some tapes
in it and amanda backs up to one tape (e.g. slot 3). The next tape I want to
use is in slot 2, but amanda searches the tape only after slot 3.
If I set the number in the file chg-zd-mtx.conf-slot to 1, then amanda
This is a feature of the changer: the next slot is curslot++.
Some robotics support a looped search: when at last slot, the next slot is first
slot, some others don't.
I have 2 robots with chg-zd-mtx, one supports this loop search, the other one doesn't.
So concerning my first robot I don't have

Hi again.
I've been using amdump manually to test Amanda, and am backing up a full
disk's file system (/dev/sda). The first time its run it produces a report
with several gigabytes worth of backup:

By the way, the below device /dev/sda should appear as /dev/sda3 i.e. the
main ext3 partition.

Yes I simply overwrote the tapelist so that I could perform a secondary
backup for testing purposes only.
I thought I had a problem with amanda, so thanks for the information.

If amanda makes this incremental backups of changes, is it then possible to
retrieve multiple past different backups from one tape?
If so, how?

Not from one tape.
The second run overwrites the dumps from the previous run.
Amanda currently insists on one tape for each run. Workarounds
exist
Hi, all. Our backups kicked off last night, as usual, but something weird cropped up. One of our disklist entries didn't back up. If an out-and-out error had occured, I'd probably be okay with it, but n... Instead, we got the following:

How do I use amrestore properly, although I've looked at the documentation
and various sites, I seem to have peculiar things happen when I attempt a
restore.
My server with tape drive is 'admin01' and my client to backup is
'webserver04'.
Should I be using:
amrestore -p /dev/nst0 webserver04
or
Using just:
amrestore /dev/nst0 webserver04
Everything seems to complete with no visible errors.
How do I make sure that 'webserver04' /dev/sda3 (the partition I backed up)
has now been restored?!

I also get a webserver04._dev_sda3.20040107.0 file within the working

So what do I do with this file?

I'd wish to extract every directory within the backup every time, as opposed

I am in the process of setting up a new Fedora driven PC and have now

Thanks - put Martin's numbers into my amanda.conf, will see how it
runs. So far though we haven't configured the new user disks, its
just /, /opt so we are currently under-utilizing the new tape drive.
Normally we are short capacity, its a new 240R and will support
lots of disk
