2014-09-25 Thread Stefan G. Weichinger
Additional info: they can't use the A/ZManda-Windows-Client because the NTFS-share is shared from a storage/SAN and not from a dedicated MS Windows Server. So we have to solve that on the side of the linux server, I assume. Stefan

Is there a way to reconstruct the tapelist from the amanda logs? I messed up a tapelist and now this config doesn't know about the available tapes anymore ... unfortunately my amanda-backups from /etc/amanda only contain ruined versions of tapelist. Any ideas? Thanks, Stefan ;-)

As far as I remember, amcheck checked all (in my case, 2) drives for correct tapes when I had runtapes=2 set. At a customer today we noticed that amcheck only checked/showed the result for one tapedrive. Is that intentional? Have I missed another setting here? Shouldn't it check both drives?
