Also in /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts I have my client
setup as below

This is wrong. you've put a disklist entry in amandahosts. amandahosts
should contain host

You could force amanda to forget that its written the tape, but
doing so throws the schedule for the successful partitions out
of wack and as amanda will not append to the tape, it will overwrite
the tape, you may make recovery of something else difficult/impossible.
Don't you have enough tapes

I plan to use gnu tar instead of dump to take my amanda backups. Is it
as stable/safe as dump/ufsdump ? I need to be able to exclude files,
that's why I use gnu tar.
Also, when I'm done testing amanda, I guess there is some way to
reinitialize it's database of tapes and dumps/indexes ? Where
I know some files are bound to be growing when I back them up. In this
case, this is an oracle database file and I'm only testing. When I put
amanda in place for good, I will stop oracle and move the database
files somewhere else before backing them up, and exclude the live
files.
But for other

I had forgot to add -

Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
Holding disk /dumps/amanda: 137244996 KB disk space
I added 'index yes' in the
dumptype Comp-root-tar. I ran amdump using that dumptype
with no error reporting. When I use amrecover C myconfig
name, I still got the same errorno index records for host.

It sounds like a good feature - if you have enough holding area
you could even hold files for a configurable number of days.
You'll need a way to differentiate held files from ones that didn't
properly flush though, perhaps moving to a subdirectory of the
holding area, MMDD-HELD or modifying

Well POSIX 1.e ACLs are one of them.

I rebooted the server and now amandad is fine. Amcheck and amdump run

This is the companion CD install and I agree that smf examples would

Thanks for everyone's thoughtful input. Now on to the next problem.

We use a nice GUI program to do that, but the product is outdated and
buying a new licence is too costly. Amanda seems good, and we use more
