Hi,
I'm having problems getting amanda (2.4.1p1) configured to use gnutar.
There
may be a different way to do what I need and if so please let me know.
We
are trying to back up files from a NAS device.
When I run amcheck I get a message that says
Error: tycho.wmi.com: [Can not execute /usr/libexec/runtar: Permission
denied]
I'll try to anticipate stuff you might need to help me on this. My
permissions look
like this
-rwxr-xr-x 1 backup backup 59988 Aug 7 2000
/usr/libexec/selfcheck
-rwsr-x--- 1 root backup 79981 Aug 7 2000
/usr/sbin/amcheck
-rwsr-x--- 1 root backup 46768 Aug 7 2000
/usr/libexec/runtar
This is from amanda.conf
define dumptype nas-files {
program "GNUTAR"
global
comment "High priority"
priority high
record no
}
and this is the disklist file
tycho.wmi.com /iomega nas-files -1 local
One other thing I don't understand is is I change my amanda.conf to say
program "DUMP"
and the hide the rundump program it doesn't complain. If I do a ps while
a backup is in progress I see that dump is running.
Any insights you could offer would be greatly appreciated. If we need to
upgrade our amanda I'll do that. It's something we want to do but there
are a bunch of other upgrades we want to do first. If that's my only
choice
then I'll have to do it now.
Thanks,
- Joel
