The command amtapetype should be in your amanda server installation.
It can be used to determine the values for your site.
The only tapetype parameter amanda actually uses is capacity.
So you could hand create a definition and be close enough

Hello,
I'm having trouble getting amtapetype to give me a 200gb tapetype for a HP
Ultrium LTO 1 drive. It tells me that hardware compression is on, and I've
tried using -e200g with -f/dev/rmt/0ubn and -f/dev/rmt/0cbn in
desperation. But it still will only give me the 100gb tapetype:

Here is the tapetype I got for my HP SorageWorks 960
Ultrium 3 unit.
Hopefully it will help others.

FYI, I found that I got faster speeds with LTO3 by using larger than
the default blocksize of 32KB. My nightly amanda backups get ~70MB/s
using 2MB blocks.
Hrm... I'm not being tapespeed limited (yet), but where do you configure
the blocksize in Amanda?

for both tapes and the drive (and capacity,
for that matter). This generally means actually putting some thought/$$
into the backup server's disk system.
For amdump and friends, blocksize is set in the tapetype. For amtapetype,
you can set it on the command line. 'man amanda.conf' and 'man
, blocksize is set in the tapetype. For
amtapetype, you can set it on the command line. 'man amanda.conf' and
'man amtapetype' are your friends.
Cool, I'll look into that, I'm actually upgrading out backup server
today, so now's a good time to play with that. Thanks!

When changing the blocksize, will amanda happily read (restore) older
tapes written

I believe the blocksize just affects how much

I'm on really shakey ground here, but doesn't the tape have to be
relabeled to get the tape header set to the new block size?
IIRC, amanda rewrites the tape header at the start of every amdump.

Hi all,
just wanted to add tapetype entries to the faq-o-matic as little feedback to
the community from a happy user of amanda, but creating an faq-o-matic account
seems not to work.
Does anyone know how to add an entry?
Thank you in advance.
