Nothing, they'll get created at the next run. the NOTE is just that, a
note, it's not an ERROR or even a WARNING -- it's just saying hey i saw
something you might like to know about.

Sounds like youv'e got a bunch of non-amanda problems here. First the
changer probably needs to have an inventory command run so it knows where
things are...
Second this box sounds extremely unhealthy, a Sig11 from sendmail indicates
a pretty serious issue -- maybe
exclude list syntax depends on your dump/tar/smbtar...usually, no. All you
get is wildcards pretty much.

Yes I'm aware p4+ is out...But I'm having a strange problem where my
planner promotes full dumps, but then complains about other full dumps
being delayed because the backup is too big? This makes no sense,
shouldn't it incremental these other dumps in order to keep from delaying
these other

Some more specifications regarding getting a tape drive:
I have a Solaris 9 box which will be the Amanda server
I have to back up another Solaris box as well as a few Window2000 boxes.
The budget for the tape drive is
you can just stuff tape08 in and ignore amanda or you can edit
CONFDIR/tapelist and adjust the order.

Yes, of course you can use a changer. Amanda is used in large
installations doing hundreds of GB backups daily. They don't
have someone sitting around waiting to change tapes. Even

err i should mention, your portrange statements shouldn't overlap the
actual servicesIE a port range of 10080-10083 is not a good idea since
amanda uses those udp ports. This will limit you effectively to one or two
clients, same with tcpportrange, and we recommend you pick something
maxdumps n in your dumptypes, defaults to one, sets the number of
parallel dumps per client.

Hi,
Right now, most of everything is on one file server, but I'd like to have
some DLEs SW compress on the server, and
Decisions on individual files and directories to backup are not the case of
Amanda, but are under the sole control of the dump program, in this case
I'm assuming GNU tar. Now fair warning is that RedHat modifies pretty much
everything that goes into it's offering, so, the problem you're having
amrecover and amrestore can be used to recover or restore arbitrary parts
of the backup tape( s ) to arbitrary places...assuming the machine you're
running them from has the appropriate tools available (IE gnutar and/or the
particular 'dump' programs needed) -- so the generic answer is 'yes' --
Ah my bad, thanks. Hadn't realised the indexes were compressed.
