I think that if you google on 'NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND' you will find

I do agree, but it appears to be with the specific manner in

You could do a second config

I did eventually find the smbclient command Amanda was using (it was in
/var/log/amanda, not /var/log/amanda/mycyclename where I was looking :-)
Running that command from the command line produces the same problem, so
I have forwarded that to the Samba list and we'll see what comes back.

It should be vice versa, actually. The possibility of single DLE to span
multiple tapes is new in version 2.5, so

Have you ever succeeded in backing up this DLE? If not,
the problem is likely elsewhere.
No, since I have updated to 2.5.0, I have not.

If you want a level0 weekly why not set your dumpcycle to 7 days? This

That's what I thought, thanks.

Hi, Jon.
The combination of a low number of DLEs and greatly varying sizes
for those DLEs will always cause the promotion problems you are
seeing. Amanda is trying to balance the amount of work done

If the last dump of a DLE was an incremental, and it is not
scheduled for a level 0, then amanda must decide to promote,
repeat, or bump the level.
Hello everyone,
Is it safe to change the length of a vtape definition on a
live system? One of our system was originally defined with 100GiB
vtapes, and I'd like to bump that size up to 200+GiB.
I guess if the answer is no I can always add a new tapetype
and manually rotate the

What does your disklist look like? How about the output of amcheck?

I was wondering if anyone can tell be the best way to duplicate an

would much prefer to use standard UNIX commands. The program tcopy

Tom,
No guarantees, but you might try something like:
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
mt -f /dev/nst1 rewind
while dd if=/dev/nst0 of=/dev/nst1 bs=32k; do done;
In general, if you want Amanda to write two copies of your data, you should
use the RAIT driver.
