Can't open exclude file ???

This does *not* appear to be Gene's problem of several days ago. Yesterday, I reconfigured some disk, and reconfigured amanda to work with the disk changes. For nearly one year, I have used the following as a top level dumptype, from which all others inherit: define dumptype global {

Hi, Amanda will always give an error if it can't access the exclude file unless it's a ENOENT (no such file) with the optional option. It's a configuration mistake, you told amanda to use a file and it can't check if the file exist. first solution: Change your DLE for this disk to remove the

Upgrade

Hi all, I have an installation where Amanda has been built by me (remember those annoying questions 'How do I execute scripts from within Amanda' last year ? ;-) ) I would like to upgrade to 2.4.4; is there anything I should keep in mind ? (I still have my 'original' config statement

selfcheck, sendsize and sendbackup are run on client as the amanda user. They have the same permission. It's only the backup program that is sometime run as root. Jean-Louis On Wed, Jan 28, 2004 at 10:04:26AM -0600, Frank Smith wrote: --On Wednesday, January 28, 2004 10:28:28 -0500 Jon

Re: Kerberos 5 support?

it should be conceptually fairly easy to add krb5 (hopefully gssapi, actually) code to parallel the krb4 support. the hard part is that there can be more than one enctype, but we could force 3des. gsswrap will be unusable due to the err interesting scheme the krb4 stuff uses. -- Greg
