files larger than tape

hello I need to backup a 18G directory(/terrasky/tslibrary) which contains 12 subdirectories. Currently, using the disklist example in the documentation for large files, my disklist looks like this : - #sa03 /terrasky/tslibrary/ { # All directories that start with [h-z] # user-tar #

How to use a hard disk??

Hi, is possible to make AMANDA use a hard disk instead a tape?? If not, would it be difficult to chage the AMANDA´s source code or configuration to do it?? Thanks _ Correos más divertidos con fotos y textos increíbles en MSN 8.

server lookup failing

After changing the IP on my amanda server, many of my clients fail amcheck with host name lookup fail. The server is resolved via dns (not in /etc/hosts), running host on the clients returns the proper IP. Re-booting the client fixes the problem, but I'd rather not reboot all my clients. So,

Re: server lookup failing

I have run into this problem before with NIS when ypbind crashed on some of the clients--this has been a chronic problem for me with Linux talking to IRIX NIS servers. Consequently, I put the amanda host IP, amanda user and group IDs in the local files so that ypbind crashing would not muck

Re: Printing tape labels

I have worked on a related issue. I figured out a procedure for creating bar-coded tape labels for use in DLT changers like the L25. (Now, I just need to figure out how to talk to it :-) If there's any interest, please email me. Thanks Seth

problem with jukebox

Hello Amanda Users, I'm running IRIX 6.5.19 amanda 2.4.2p2 MTX 1.3.8 MTX itself seems to work correctly (see output below). However I'm unable to get proper replies either from the glue script nor from amanda (which one would expect with a problem with the level underneath).

Amanda, MTX, L25 changer

Greetings. We have been running Amanda on E4500/DLT7000 flawlessly for years. Now, we got a Fireserver with a Sun L25 library and we want amanda to be able to use it. (we are on FS4800 with Solaris 8) (I believe the Tape Robot is also known as ATL 1500) I started with MTX, and it seemed to

Jon, Frank, Thank you - I was able to debug with your help and quickly realized that the driveslot wasn't set properly, updating the conf file and examining the script I realized that the value was not being checked. Since I'd had an issue with this on the Solaris 9 box last year and I knew that

dumping /root dir instead dumps whole partition

Greetings, I'm testing amanda 2.4.4p2 on mix of FreeBSD stable/current and debian stable/testing boxes, and one debian testing box is acting up. It has a single partition, and I want to dump its /root and /etc directories. The /etc dump seems to work fine, but when it dumps /root, it takes the
