Hi,
if i had to decide what to do, i would do both, a) and b).
Why? you won't beleave it, but a few weeks ago at one of
our customers 2 of 3 drives in a scsi raid5-array died in a
periode of half an hour.
They where more then happy having all their data on tape,
and back on a replacement-disk in
What exactly does tapecycle do ? I have in my config
dumpcycle 2 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 10 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
# (2 weeks * 5 amdump runs per week -- just weekdays)
tapecycle 14 tapes #
Is it just me, or have other people on the list been getting old mails again

sure I'd read it before and sure enough - date in header was May 5.
Looking at the headers the problem (with this one anyway) appears to be on

Yep. A tape must be at least tapecycle tapes old before amanda will
agree to reuse it. So for you,

I could be wrong here, but:
I think the part they want you to print is only an OVERVIEW --
which disk entry and what number file it is on the tape.
NOT a listing of individual files.
If your whole disk is bad, you don't need an index very much --
you won't want to restore individual files.
So if I want to persuade amanda to use more tape I should shorten the dump
cycle, correct ? But I have a DDS-3 with native capacity of 12 GB and no
changer. What happens if in a dump cycle there's more to be backed up than
can fit on the tape e.g. if a lot happens to change on a couple of

That was what I meant anyway. The important part for me is the file

/.backup/whatever/.
The trailing /. will force the symlink to get dereferenced.

I run amanda-2.4.2p1-2. Supose an intruder break somehow the system and
perform a rm -rf /. From this point, after a fresh reinstall of the
system, how I can restore from tape, if no backup database is not

I read that he had created the symlinks in /.backup/,
Your tip certainly helped me, Michael, and actually your example _made_
me change to /backup/ instead og ./backup, since the old directory path
was painfully long...
Thank you for helping me.
