Just for your information, on my Linux mtx's version (Slackware 8.1 with a
2.4.18 kernel) there is no such option nocompression to mtx... But there
are the options defcompression and compression which can be set to 0 then
it looks like that compression is disabled...
PS: thanks Joshua for your
Hello,
I am using an Exabyte Eliant 820 tape drive on Linux kernel 2.4.18 and
would like to make sure the hardware compression is disabled. Does anyone
know how I can check that ?
Thanks

Hello,
I wanted to ask how good is AMANDA to backup Windows servers ? One of the
few issues I can think of is:
- will it backup a windows file owner permissions and rights (ACL) ?
- is it possible for AMANDA to restore directly to a Windows server ?
- what needs to be put in place to backup
Hello,
I am using an AMANDA 2.4.3 server patched with the sencrypt script from
http://cns.utoronto.ca/~pkern/stuff/amanda-patch/ and also using sst to do
the encryption from the same author. I am using exactly the same
configuration on both the server and the client.
The problem is that somehow
Hello,
Let's take the scenario where I have got an AMANDA server located at one
central site and have a few other servers located at various places around
the globe which of course all need to be backed up by the centraon site's
AMANDA server. My question is now more related about security and
I think the easiest way would be to use an SSH tunnel. Would this be easy
to implement ? Any examples maybe or pointers on how to acheive that ?
Thanks

Hello,
I wanted to know for an AMANDA backup server running on Solaris which tape
device to use, currently I am using /dev/rmt/0bn but I saw some
documentation especially the RESTORING documentation which mentions using
/dev/rmt/0cn, so what would be the correct device to use ?

Hello,
I would like to rotate between multiple sets of 8 tapes because my changer
supports maximum 8 tapes. So I have defined the following in my
amanda.conf:
dumpcycle 5 days
runspercycle 5
tapecycle 8
runtapes 2
When one set of 8 tapes is finished I will take it offsite and then start
up with
First, thanks for your detailed opinion. You are right I could use 40 tapes
in the config but then I would like to have at least a dump level 0 once
per week, so how would I acheive that, I mean which config options in my
amanda.conf to use ? is something like that correct:
dumpcycle 5 days
For a changer device on LUN 1 you need to edit the Solaris's generic SCSI
driver /kernel/drv/sgen.conf. This works fine, did some tests with mtx.
I was just more wondering what are the criterias to choose between chg-scsi
or chg-zd-mtx...

Well my drive is not a SDT-9000 but a COMPAQ TSL-9000, or are these drives
the same ?

Hi Jim,
I will go and have a look on the Sony website for some PDFs, with the help
of some members of the AMANDA mailling list I've managed to get it working
fine on Solaris 9. I would be very pleased if you could send me the
tapetype as it isn't in the Faq-O-Matic.

Hello,
Does anyone have experience in configuration a COMPAQ/SONY TSL-9000 DAT
DDS-3 device with AMANDA ? I have only the device and no single
documentation about it. What I can tell is that it's an 8 DDS-3 tape
changer device which gets recognized on my Solaris 8 system under
/dev/rmt/0. Somehow
Hello,
I have got here a DDS-3 tape drive which has per default hardware
compression enabled and was wondering what is the best deal with AMANDA.
Would you guys suggest hardware compression or should I disable hardware
compression and have software compression done for example with gzip ?
Thanks for your quick answer. Ok it sounds clear to me that all points to
the advantages of having software compression. I will then disable hardware
compression.

Hi there,
I saw that there is a new stable version of AMANDA out. Now is it possible
to run the old version as AMANDA as a server (2.4.2p2) and use the newewst
version as client ? Will that work ?
Regards
Marc
Hehe well it's just a matter of upgrading all the clients and server with
the time but during the client/server upgrade there will be multiple
versions running so I just wanted to make sure this will not create
problems...

Hello,
Does the netusage parameter in amanda.conf really work ? I am asking this
because I have changed it to 50 kByte/s and still see the backups taking
the same amount of bandwidth on the MRTG graphs of the backup server...

Hi there,
Is it possible to add some comments in the .amandahosts file ? For example:
# this is my comment bla bla bla bla
192.168.200.200 amandauser
Regards
Marc
Well looks like comments starting with # in .amandahosts works, I added a
few line of comments in it and did an amcheck, no errors where returned...

Hello,
Backing up a partition on a Linux 2.2 kernel server gives me the following
output on nearly every backups:
FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:
/-- analgesix /home lev 1 FAILED [/sbin/dump returned 3]
sendbackup: start [analgesix:/home level 1]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump
Well, the weird thing is that I already replaced the hard drive once
because I was thinking that it could only be a HD problem, but the problem
still persists. What I also tryed is to do a manual dump on that machine
and that works fine... So that sounds really strange... Any ideas ?
