that's an interesting idea.. maybe it would be better to make it part of
the planner..
planner sees dumps in the holding disk, adds that count to the plan for
the current day, and will flush it along with the current disks.
this would save a lot of time for me as well.
just add to amanda.conf:
i'm using amanda backup 2.4.3b3, and am setup with smbclient to backup
some NT4 and 2K workstations.. I'm running into the problem that smbclient
is returning errors for open files, such as pagefile.sys, and a few other
files that I want to ignore in backups.
since smbclient doesn't allow for
read the amanda faq..

no, you can not store more than one backup session per tape.. that's
dangerous. (cheap backup programs let you do it, well.. because they're
cheap)

Hi,

you could change the cron entry on the amanda server to remotely execute
the mysqldumps with ssh.
#!/bin/sh
LIST_OF_HOSTS=foo bar baz
for host in $LIST_OF_HOSTS; do
ssh $host /usr/local/sbin/do-mysql-dump.sh
done
/usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1

it sounds like amcheck is getting run with the wrong permissions.. can you
check the permissions, and paste it for both amcheck and amdump?

I'm not sure why the travan tape is not working properly.. you may want to
upgrade to Redhat 7.3 for both driver issues, and security reasons..
can I say that again.. UPGRADE :)
as far as your system instability, the mdrecovery process is a program
that monitors raid disks. it's only
you also need to update the cron entries so that it only runs on the days
you want it to.. read the crontab man page, and run the apropriate crontab
command for your system. (i can't tell you any more, because you didn't
say what OS and version you're running)

is there to just process a current dump.. allowing you to
decide exactly when dumps should occur, not allowing the planer to try and
figure it out for you.

you could have a script at the end of the backup rewind the tape, and use
ssh to pipe it it to a file on the remote end. dd if=/dev/nst0 | ssh
remotehost 'dd of=/output/file'
or something similar to that. kinda hackish.. but it could work for you..
and ssh can be autmated securely with
the properly backed up data. but amindexd doesn't return all the
listings.

you are a bit mistaken as to how amanda works, amanda automaticaly

backup every night, here is what you could do.
have
backups for one week, and on
weekends, run amflush to dump those disks to tape.

Hello,
I was wondering - how does one back up dail incrementals onto a hard

Thanks.

(with smbclient),
and use amanda to backup everything.
(The clients are running 24h a day)
I have an Onstream DI-30 tapedrive, which (should) work fine with the new
Linux Kernel.
Thanks for any comments,

However, if I start amrecover on the (any) client, it tries to connect
to localhost. I have not been able to find were to tell it to go to the
amanda server.
Any hints?
