Sir: I am new to amanda. I have installed it on my machine which is running AiX last week.
My system description: 1. Using amanda-2.4.2p2 on AiX 2. I have followed the instructions given in README, INSTALL, docs/* files 3. I am not getting any errors when I run $ ./amcheck -m confname; ./amdump confname. I guess it is dumping something into the holding disk. The file in the holding disk is found to be ibms2.hd4.1. Is this the dump? 4. When I open the file, it has some special characters. 5. But when I say, $ ./amflush -f confname, it is not writing anything to the tape (/dev/rmt0). I have some other information in the tape drive. Will it not write to the tape or how can I write into it. 6. If I say, $ tar -tvf /dev/rmt0, I sould see the old files in the tape. 7. Also please help me, how to take backups of a single directory onto the tape/other directory in the machine at some other location. Thanking you very much in advance. Please help me. Regards, Nitesh
