Hello Amanda users,
For some reason I’m not seeing much/any Amanda traffic, I did re-register with
a new email address last month…
Installing Amanda-client on an ununtu system, when I run # amcheck from the
server I’m seeing the following in tcpdump output.

ATTENTION:
We did a server update, which replaced old libraries, so we did an update to
the Amanda install.
After updating (possibly incorrectly) the security.conf, we still have a
getpeername error.
Not sure how to fix this, not seeing anything directly related in the archives.
Any help would be
Depends on how many dumpers you are using, I like of like TSTSTSts, or
something like that. Also very much depends on the size/length of the relative
dumps, but I do like to kick off some of the longest ones early.
Caveat – I haven’t done enough experimentation to know that what I’m doing is
Xhost, and environmental variable DISPLAY, plus your output needs to be x11.
You can also write a pdf file and print it, or view with an appropriate viewer.

It has been a while, title might be the org string from amanda.conf?
I'm sorry, it has been years since I ran it regularly.

I’m configured amanda to run native client utilities gnutar, dump, star (shilly
tar), er something else.
There are certain known and available/approved things you can do, but the
bottom line is always – Amanda is an intelligent, scheduling, wrapper,
client-server using OS native tools.

I believe that you would define tape pool of 80 for each, with regular
expressions you may be able to have the same label string format but different
tape number ranges.
Maybe like this?
Sales POOL1[0-9][0-9]
Support POOL2[0-9][0-9]
Research POOL3[0-9][0-9]
For sanity I think I'd define 3 tape
Alternatively - configure all DLE to be non-fulls, disable level 0 backups
entirely and run cron jobs to force level 0 dumps on particular DLEs.
That way you can get level 0 when you want it to occur an no other DLE will
advance to a level 0 on its own.
# amadmin config force client DLE

I have been using a very similar setup for years, though I did not have any

Chris,
There is an amplot utility that I used to run a lot, it would show me what I
was constrained on, often holding space, which if you are running a bunch of
large dumps to start off with could constrain dumping later on.

Note on that - you want to maximize throughput, not maximize the number of
running dumpers.
More dumpers moving data is usually good, but more isn't always better.

You can run amanda multiple times per night, and each config can specify a
different, MUST specify a different set of tape labels, different tape pools.
But I don’t believe you can run multiple amanda servers concurrently.
Could you run your tapes with the highest security level so that DLEs

Deb,
Not sure if I'm understanding your question. If so I believe Amanda was built
with the concept of a once/day run schedule taking into account runs/cycle as
well as days/dumpcycle (for instance 5 run days in a one week dump cycle).
