Hello everyone who considers using the Onstream ADR50 drive with amanda, I won't let you wait any longer since Onstream support do not get back to me this time. The ADR50 drive, which is supposed to be a full linux compatible SCSI tape drive (it should work with the standard st scsi tape

Can't restore from Ultrium: changing volumes on pipe input, abort?

2002-01-03 Thread Chris Cooke
Since attempting to replace our old DDS3 tape drives with HP Ultriums, Amanda backups haven't worked properly. The HP tape drives themselves seem OK when we back things up to them directly. However when we use Amanda, the backups seem to work properly but restores fail. In slightly more

Problems with dumps

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting one of my clients backed up. There are 13 file systems on the client which need to be dumped, totalling about 12GB of data. I'm getting error messages like the following for several of the file systems: hacluster1 /dev/sda12 lev 0 FAILED [dumps

Is anyone out there, backing up a Lotus Notes server (on win 2k) with amanda? Any succes, failures? Also how much success/failures has anyone had with a restoring about everything on a windows box? I know backing up data is easy to restore, but for most programs you need to re-install.

Re: strange amanda header

You are right, but I have realized that many tapes have the same (let instead lev) error or a gzip corrupted data format and never a tape header error. I tested the drive with tar (1.13.17, 1.13.19 and 1.13.25) cpio and dd (on old and new tapes) and it seems to work properly. Could the problem be

Re: strange amanda header

2002-01-03 Thread Moritz Both
You should probably double check your hardware. I once had a similar error where every ~2,000,000,000th double word on the tape was corrupted. It turned out to be a bad mainboard (asus a7v133 pci problem). Run amverify regulary for a while, gzip will report these kind of errors (crc error).

RE: Problems with dumps

2002-01-03 Thread Bort, Paul
Paul, A couple of things might help track down where the problem is coming from. First, if you can add a third tape to a run, that will indicate whether the problem is with AMANDA's tape size estimate or not. Next, do you have enough holding disk space for that backup? You can test this by

Hi, Since my incremental backup is not so big(about 20G)per day. I want amanda to put daily incremental backup to the holding disk first. and then after 3 or 4 days, I flush it to one tape(100G capacity).That means the holding disk will have 3 or 4 days of incremental backup. how can I do this

I'm using amanda 2.4.2p2 with a patch to append backups to the same tape. Everything works well and I have managed to retrieve files using amrecover. Problem is, after running that command, I'm guessing I need to reset the position of the tape to 1 beyond the last filesystem written to tape. Is
