Don't use dump if you're planning to migrate. You may decide later to
use
-server port (which, by itself also includes the
'client' part ... this I didn't know). This would have been
harmless ... but seems like I forgot to set
AMANDA_USER=amanda in the second install.
Thanks to all who replied and helped,

Hi

BTW, I aready used this file when I manually run the

I don't know if this is part of amanda's features:
Is it possible to have amanda produce notifications on:
i) need to replace tapes based on tape usage.
ii) need to clean heads based on tape drive usage.
If the drive and tapes are only used under amanda supervision (which
is my case), then
I just thought that this might be of interest to some people in the
list. Although it ocurred a while ago (and I won't risk trying to
reproduce it again) this is what I've observed.
I was doing a backup using amanda, but instead of using the cron job,
I just called amdump as the amanda user. I
day, I
suppose amanda will run daily (as it's happening now) and will try to
dump daily to tape. (Why doesn't amanda skip some days, even if called
from a cron job?).

I'm trying to understand why amanda is only writing approximately
19-20 GB on my DDS-4 tapes (HP C5718A, min 20GB and up to 40GB with
