Hi,
I am stuck with a problem with Amanda since I updated this
machine. Before everything was running very smoothly.
I set-up a new machine, and basically copied everything in /usr/local,
recreated the /amanda directopry for amanda user and amanda group,
created .amandahosts. I double checked
May I know some of the reasons why AMANDA edges over other traditional
Unix backup utilities.

does what it claims
source available
well supported
good, unique scheduling module
networked
scales well from a single system to moderatly large installations
Also that it

Yes, we use amrecover frequently. When I was first starting
to become familiar with it I had a few problems, silly user
errors like not remembering the -p option and ended up
positioning the tape manually [well, with mt :-) ] and then
having to pipe the output of dd through gzip to
Hi all,

That's bad,
Ran an amflush that for the first time was greater than
a single tape capacity. Amflush knows about my changer
(shifted to the correct tape) and my config has runtapes
set to 2 (this has worked for amdump). Yet amflush did
not attempt to use a second tape.
Perhaps this is normal, expected

You have to use the following command:
./amlabel -f config_dir DailYset1 tapeXX

I am pretty sure there is a -f switch that will force it to label the
tape.

Use the -f option with amlabel. It will FORCE the overwrite of the
existing label. This is a safety precaution so that users don't
accidently overwrite a backup tape.

That's a REALLY good point. the idea is to keep the data on this tape
forever... or at least
until we're sure we will never need the data again. Would amrestore
still work, though? If that
is true, then I'm less worried about losing the index.
Thanks everybody,

Ok. I think I have a simple configuration error here. I'm running
amanda 2.4.2p2 on Redhat 7.2. I have a Sony TSL-11000 tape changer that
holds 8 DDS4 tapes. Up until now, I've run Amanda once a night, with a
dumpcycle of 1 day, runspercycle of 1 day, runtapes of 1,
and a tapecycle of 7 tapes.
amrecover setdisk /data
501 No index records for disk: /data. Invalid?
Nope, doesn't work.
You disklist entry is exactly /data?
Well, I simplified things a bit, in addition to naming the server foo.
It's actually:
% grep data /usr/local/etc/amanda/Daily/disklist
foo
Would anyone know why would amrecover spits out the message Abandoning
Restore when setmode = smb. I am currently using Mandrake Linux and
backingup a 6GB fileshare from Windows 2000?
However, doing a setdisk /data/mm5_uw/calmm5 produces the
same result (appended to the debug file):
DISK /data/mm5_uw/calmm5/
501 No index records for disk: /data/mm5_uw/calmm5/. Invalid?
Bingo (maybe!).
I think you did:
amrecover setdisk /data/mm5_uw/calmm5/
