[sorry for the scatological reference.] My regular backup process last night produced 17 files of about 1GB each for my server tobaccodev. (Listing pasted in at the end of this note.) I tried flushing this to my DDS-4 tapes, but was not able to do this. I got these notes in the emailed report:

I could have sworn that I used to be able to do an amflush and then eject the tape in the background with a command such as this, as the amanda user: echo 'amflush DBackup mt offline' | at now However, this now sends me an email that seems to show it asking for the right amanda backups to flush

I'm trying to get a new Amanda client working with my existing Amanda system. My tapehost is a Debian/GNU 4.0 system named 'centernet.jhuccp.org.' It uses 'backup' as the Amanda username. My client is host 'tobaccodev.jhuccp.org' with CentOS 5, using 'amanda' as the Amanda user. The client

I'm just completing the first bare-metal recovery I've experienced in my six years as a system administrator. A backplane seemed to fail and wiped out two disks of a four-disk RAID-5 array. After replacing all the suspect parts, I followed this process to restore the host: --Installed an IDE hard
