I'm using amanda-2.4.2, and I've got one filesystem that's (after
compression) 500MB too big for my tape. :(
I'd rather not use gtar, due to previous bad experiences with it.
What were thos ebad experiences ?

1) Why is gnutar used in stead of calcsize ?
For one thing, it knows about exclusion lists.
For another, it knows about incrementals.
Actually, we might be wrong on both counts. I took a very quick look

How can this be set ?
With "maxdumps" in amanda.conf. It will cause more than one estimate (on

If STCTL isn't seeing the tapes beind loaded, you're asking on the wrong
list. Amanda just uses STCTL.
If you can, you might want to upgrade to Solaris 8 and take advantage of
the built-in SGEN driver. This way you can bug sun if it doesn't work ;-)

It initially planned to bump it to level 3, but then realized it was
time for a full backup and run it. amreport should probably be
enhanced to discard

I'm currently using gtar 1.13.17 on a few platforms without problem, but
I noticed some emails ( and i've lost those in my madness of the last
couple days ) talked about using 1.13.19. Is .19 generally recommended
over .17 or was it to solve a specific problem?
thanks

Does anyone know whether it is possible to have an exclude list when
backing up WinNT drives?
Thanks,
Mack

It solves a potential crash, a problem with pattern matching in
exclude patterns and should be much faster.

Nope. All sendbackup supports right now is a single exclude file
spec, in the case of Smbclient. And note that sendsize doesn't
support it

hello everybody:
I need to restore a data that it is my holding disk
but I couldn't.
My holding disk is /amanda_holding and my amanda data in there

I tried amrestore -p /amanda_holding/20001215/duchamp.tomandandy._Local_Users.0.1

I'm new to amanda and really can use some help installing a new

grown a lot. The new unit is a model 7115.
The problem appears to be my mtx configuration. Any
hello everybody;
I'm sorry for my last question maybe it was not clear.
so i'm going to try again.
I am trying to use amrestore to restore a data that i have in my holding
disk area. How can i do that?.
Also I would like to know if somebody knows about cont_dumpfile in
compares to a dumpfile.
Is there anyone out there that is using BSDI 4.2 with amanda and a
tapechanger? I have a Spectra Logic Treefrog changer with a Sony AIT2
drive. Amanda works great with the drive, but I can get it to recognize
the changer. I've searched the archives, and haven't found anything
specific on this

I am checking amstatus and notice that amdump is only doing 2 dumps at the

(client constrained she tells me).
Can anyone tell me how I can tell amanda to use more dumpers at once ?

Increase maxdumps in some dumptype of that host.

I'm not using BSDI but I imagine it's probably similar to FreeBSD.
Let's start with a few questions:
- What changer script(s) have you tried?
chg-multi
Would have loved to try chg-scsi, but it doesn't compile on my system.
- Have you determined the device name for the changer?
sg0
