Greetings;
After last nights run, I thought I'd see if it was using the new versions of
things, but the only routine of those that do report in their debug files
what version they are, is the runtar I copied out
of /usr/local/libexec/amanda/runtar and put in /usr/local/libexec.

Dear all,
say your amanda backup server itself dies, and you need to
reinstall/recreate it from scratch.
You want the new backup server to have available the information needed to
find and restore data from tapes, i.e. the info you get when running:
amadmin config find server_name disk

Sorry for the non-amanda topic posting.
Disaster recover, i.e. bare metal restore,
is not one of amanda's strong points.
For those using Solaris, I came across an
interesting article on sun.com/bigadmin
about using 'flash archives' for disaster
recovery.

if you are running a redhat machine or fedora you have:

This will automate everything

I don't use index files at all. In case of disaster, I expect to have
to get a new machine and tape drive, with tons of disk, and put each
tape in, reading it from start to finish (streaming) and just write
each file to disk. Then, I'll be looking for the most recent 0 of

Hi, I'm just starting to figure out Amanda and I have a few
questions, hopefully not too stupid.
My main goal is disaster recovery for a few servers, which
to me means having the most recent complete set of backups

dump cycles
Hello,
we like to have a more reliable, fast and easy way to do a disaster recovery
with amanda.
For this we have done two things, which you find both in the appended
document:
- write a (less tested) disaster recovery guide
- start plannings for a specialized amanda disaster recovery

hi. If you're running Linux and want to buy a disaster recovery cdrom
