Dear all, In my continuing quest to master an inherited Amanda 2.4.2p install, I tried playing around with the file driver, as detailed in http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/File_driver
Before messing around with chg-multi, I thought I would use a single vtape device, specified using tapedev. I don't have ammt or amdd in this setup, so I can't do the tests described in http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/File_driver#Simple_virtual_tapes I can, however, run amcheck: > amcheck algo_test Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- Holding disk /xlv1/amanda: 19219628 KB disk space available, using 8733868 KB Holding disk /dumps/amanda: 2168196 KB disk space available, using 71044 KB ERROR: file:/xlv1/amanda/algo_test/tape1: No such file or directory (expecting a new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writable test NOTE: info dir /usr/local/amanda/algo_test/curinfo/sienna: does not exist NOTE: index dir /usr/local/amanda/algo_test/index/sienna: does not exist Server check took 0.006 seconds Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- Client check: 1 host checked in 0.027 seconds, 0 problems found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2) Yes, dear, the file _does_ actually exist: > ls -la /xlv1/amanda/algo_test/tape1 total 0 drwxrwxr-x 3 amanda amanda 22 Mar 28 12:57 . drwxrwxr-x 3 amanda amanda 23 Mar 28 12:57 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 amanda amanda 9 Mar 28 12:57 data So - could anyone hit me with a clue?
