Hello,
Amanda seems to have a problem when it tries to backup its index area itself. I
would like to get rid of this message, because everything is backed up
correctly.
Every idea is welcome

Hi,
as you are using gnu-tar for the backup the "exclude" or "exclude file"
option for dumptype is your friend try something like "exclude *.tmp"
and
all files with .tmp as last chars will get excluded from the backup,
and gtar will stop producing this message.

But those will only write to a network socket. It is Amanda's taper

I am having a strange problem with 1 host. Friday (the first time for

Diogo,
One of the advantages of AMANDA is that she automatically selects the backup
level that is needed based on the schedule you specify. If you really need
to tweak backup levels, the amadmin command can do this, with the various
'force' options. Check out the amadmin man page for more

Where to shop for anything seems to be a pretty loaded question. I would
start with whomever your hardware vendors are, then shop around to see who has
what for what price. Compare things like hw support, RMA policies,

Hi Folks,
Our amanda was set up by set up by someone who has moved on.
I feel like I have a pretty good handle on it after 6mos. It has worked
reliably. I've learned to add/delete disks, manipulate some of the
config options and have succcessfully "twinned" our master configuration
so I can test

The only way to ensure it starts first is to get the others delayed
with starttime. But you probably don't want to do that. Consider

My main worry is that small change done to one small file, hence a

the holding disk, before it ever shows up in the amdump log.
Is my above concern warranted?
Yes.

Hi,
I have sucessfully backup up our network and after

machine. I assume that is necessary?

If you are trying to increase the number of dumps that go on at once on
