Recently I tried to add a host to our backup system.
The client was running amanda 2.5, the server 2.4
After a few tries I gave up and installed 2.4 on the client as well

support from the kernel.

Hi, Chris
You could use a script that 'replaces'
tar on the client and that checks to see if a job is still running, if
there is, it waits with the tar command.

the procedure with me right now, but I use this kind of scripts to shut
down databases and/or
I have had the same problem once, one
of the machines that I back up sometimes wasn't found; I always thought
it was some kind of time out problem since everything else worked (ping,

I ended up adding the machine in the

If I understand your question correctly,
you are looking for smbclient; which is being called by Amanda in case
of backing up an smb server (your windowsserver)
smbclient is part of the Samba suite.
In your amanda disklist you would have
sth. like this :
localhost
You'll have to configure it using the
--without-server directive
Probably best to use hfstar in stead
of tar too ( http://www.metaobject.com/Products.html#hfstar ) to backup
resource forks.
(configure using --with-gnutar=/path/to/hfstar
)

Hi all,
I've just set up an amanda installation
at our branch office.
Everything works like a charm (as expected
grin) except for one thing : the dates are wrong... files thate
were created this night, have a timestamp of 20 Nov.
The date/time on the machine is correct.
amreport also shows
In the year 2003
It is the date in the subject line of
the mail AND the filename of the log (log.20031121.0)
I'm looking at the file from bash-shell
(if I 'touch' a file; it gets the correct date)
The content of the log : (top
2 lines)
START driver date 20031121
START planner date
I haven't had the possibility to test
it myself, but according to this http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=98105cid=8434535
it should work using hfstar.
I have tested Amanda myself using serverside
compression and only Amanda client on the client (duh) and that works,
so compiling it using
Hi all,

Would it work with a patched Samba ?
Suppose the guys at Samba applied the

The problem I'm having is that I can't
get smbclient to work properly when it's wrapped in a script.

with the same command line parameters the script itself gets.

I have a question regarding backing
up smbshares;
As i understand it, smbclient should
be used by Amanda to perform this task.
