Hi list: I'm pretty new to amanda, but i'll try to explain myself :-)
I am trying to use amanda for backups using a Windows host for backups (just to disk, no tape dev.) I succesfully (aparently) compiled amanda server following the instructions on: http://www.amanda.org/docs/howto-cygwin.html (removing the --without server on the ./configure step, of course ;-) ) The problem is with the amdump the taper seems to bizarrely stop working. This is the tipical e-mail report: --------------------------------------------- *** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH PROPERLY! The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape. The next new tape already labelled is: HISS01. FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: machine1 /tmp RESULTS MISSING dumper: FATAL must be run setuid root to communicate correctly driver: FATAL reading result from taper: Software caused connection abort STATISTICS: Total Full Incr. -------- -------- -------- Estimate Time (hrs:min) 0:00 Run Time (hrs:min) 0:00 Dump Time (hrs:min) 0:00 0:00 0:00 Output Size (meg) 0.0 0.0 0.0 Original Size (meg) 0.0 0.0 0.0 Avg Compressed Size (%) -- -- -- Filesystems Dumped 0 0 0 Avg Dump Rate (k/s) -- -- -- Tape Time (hrs:min) 0:00 0:00 0:00 Tape Size (meg) 0.0 0.0 0.0 Tape Used (%) 0.0 0.0 0.0 Filesystems Taped 0 0 0 Chunks Taped 0 0 0 Avg Tp Write Rate (k/s) -- -- -- NOTES: planner: tapecycle (14) <= runspercycle (14) planner: Adding new disk easegurador:/tmp.

Server check took 0.078 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- Client check: 1 host checked in 0.031 seconds, 0 problems found (brought to you by Amanda 2.5.0p2) That is pretty weird since user running all this stuff is Administrator, but anywway i checked out the permissions and the seem fine to me. Planner, dumper and amcheck have -rwsr-x--- permissions and i tested it with chowning to Administrator, SYSTEM and root (an administrator user) and that seems to do nothing different. This is my amanda.conf for DailySet1: #------------------- org "DailySet1" # Nombre descriptivo para los mensajes mailto "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" # lista de mails que reciben los logs dumpuser "Administrator" # usuario propietario de los backups inparallel 1 # procesos en paralelo netusage 10 # ancho de banda máximo dumpcycle 14 days # numero de dias de un ciclo completo tapecycle 14 # numero total de cintas runtapes 1 tpchanger "chg-multi" # script controlador de cintas changerfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer.conf" tapetype HARD-DISK # tipo de almacenamiento labelstr "^HISS[0-9][0-9]*$" # expresion regular de la etiqueta de las cintas infofile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo" # fichero de datos logfile "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/log" # fichero de log indexdir "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/index" # fichero de indice # definición del almacenamiento define tapetype HARD-DISK { comment "Esto es un disco duro, no una cinta" length 4000 mbytes # 4 GB de espacio } # definición de volcado de datos completo define dumptype hard-disk-dump { comment "Back up to hard disk instead of tape - using dump" holdingdisk no index yes options compress-fast, index, exclude-list "/etc/amanda/exclude.gtar" priority high } # definicion de volcado de datos con 'tar' define dumptype hard-disk-tar { program "GNUTAR" hard-disk-dump comment "Back up to hard disk instead of tape - using tar" } #------------------- ¿Some clues? Thank you very much in advance.
