Did anybody migrate Amanda server from FreeBSD to Linux ?
I can't read old tapes (that were written on FreeBSD).
If I load a tape with amtape:

Hi gurus,
What could be the reason that some boxes get backed up with level 0
every day (although the dumpcycle set up for 7 days). Does it mean that
some index (or whatever it is) files got corrupted so Amanda does not
track the backups properly ?

Why don't you upgrade server side first ? It is safe to do.

It is because the machine is multihomed and forward DNS lookup does not

You either have to put an additional record in forward zone with

Hi Everybody,
Please don't flame me for asking this but the NT admins onsite here

I'm afraid you have to disappoint them.

In case you know the location of the backup sets on the tapes you don't
even need Amanda to recover.

I believe Amanda will work with any scsi changer.
AFAIK, the only hardware dependent part is bar code support.

If I had Linux as a backup server I'd rather use chg-scsi.
It gives you much more flexibility than other scripts.
Most important feature that is useful when you have large number of
slots,
you can split the changer into few independant tape pools and use them
in
different configurations.
