Hello I have a18G filesystem that needs to be backed up and do not have a tape changer. I have tried the following :-
runtapes 2 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump tpchanger "chg-manual" # the tape-changer glue script tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used changerfile "/usr/adm/amanda/WeeklySet1/changer" When I run amdump WeeklySet1, it asks me to load tapes repeatedly. 3 files were created in the log directory and are as follows :- changer-status-access, changer-status-clean, changer-status-slot with following contents : - changer-status-access :::::::::::::: 2 :::::::::::::: changer-status-clean :::::::::::::: 0 :::::::::::::: changer-status-slot :::::::::::::: 1 Since 2 tapes of 12G should be enough for the backup ( no hardware compression and using tar) , I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. can anyone help me with this config??? Thanx in advance Madhvi
