Does amanda support virtual tapes?
Instead of writing do a tape device, write several packages to a
hard-disc like if they were several tapes.
Thanks,

I've never used the file driver in production, only played with it
a little, but I think this needs to be a file, not a directory. Perhaps
someone else can clarify this. More comments way below.

Hello,
I have amanda set up and it runs great, however I'm experiencing one
problem and I don't know how to fix it. This is what I have setup in
the /etc/crontab file:
# amanda
00 15 * * 1-5 amanda /usr/sbin/amcheck -m DailySet1
01 0 * * 2-6 amanda /usr/sbin/amdump
I am backing up using the file driver. I have successfully done a few
restores using amrecover, it seem pretty slick. I then would put the backup
files to tape for archival purposes. Within the data folder of each tape
folder I would have files such as this:
0-Tape05
0.Tape05

You have 3 ways to backup Windows by Amanda:
1. Win32 client: good luck, since its development has been
stopped 2 years ago
2. Windows shares and Samba client on your Amanda box: not so
good because of the rights of the files that are bot backed up

Hi. I've been battling with getting Amanda set up, gotten pretty far, but
now amcheck gives me this error:
ERROR: mplslx1.buffalowildwings.com: [host mplslx2.buffalowildwings.com:

Mplslx1 is the client, mplslx2 is the server.
the only info I found on this so far was in
port range then the client needs to be done the same way.
Thanks,
