Hi all,
I've got question which already appear here, but none of answers were
not suitable for me.
I have configure my backup system and all works fine, except one
server. On this server I've got large partition - aprox. 25Gb. I set
etimeout to 6000 and dtimeout to 18000 - I thought this should

Is it possible to relabel a tape, but preserve the existing data on the
tape ?
No. It's a fundamental aspect of tapes that any write operation sets
end of device (i.e. there ain't nothing after that).

We have a file system that is mirrored by rsync across two systems to save net
work traffic and increase speed when accessing the files. It also allows one of
the machines to be taken off site and still work.
At the moment I am backing up each filesystem separately. However since the file

That depends on how you define lost :-) :-).
I found your post. It's article 1562 out of 4911 in my yet to be

Sigh.

Hi Richard,
Hang in there! I think I can offer a little help. Rather than going to
the trouble of compiling gcc, which can be a bit intimidating, perhaps
you may like to download a PKG.

Hi Trevor,
You may want to check your chunksize. I have mine set to 1GB so large
backups are split into 1GB files. Additionally you may need, even on
Solaris 8, to update tar gzip such that they will be able to handle
the larger files.
You could also effect this in your disklist. Rather

Hi! Thanks for all the responses so far -- I finally got it to compile on
one of the Solaris 2.7 boxes (I found 'ar' -- I forgot that Solaris doesn't
have a root path which includes most of the tools by default). I then
tranferred it over to the other 2.7 machine, and it seems to be happy there

You should **always** run amcheck before running amandad, or whenver
you get errors like this. It does a much better job of diagnosing what

The most likely culprit

What is supposed to happen is ./configure should see that you already
have a declaration for strncasecmp and disable the Amanda version.
