Hi, I'm still working through the 15-minute Amanda tutorial. Maybe '15-hour' would be a better title? ;-)
My first backup/dump failed b/c my test backup set was 6GB, > than the default 5GB tape/slot size for the test setup. I changed the tape/slot size to 6.5GB and changed the config to allow 2 tapes per dump. Then I ran it again, and the amreport was happy. But then when I ran the recover, it hung during the 'Load tape' step (see below, from 2nd attempt). So I tried amclean and there were no reported issues with the log, and used amrmtape to remove the two tapes. I reran the dump and again it reported no problems. But the recover is hanging again. Here's the output. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks! [root@cback amanda]# amrecover DailySet1 AMRECOVER Version 3.3.4.
