Ah thanks. It's a rather large volume I'm looking at right now. So I need to be quite confident my setup will work.
many LTO6 tapes. yes GNUTAR. I need to be sure I can also restore from non-Amanda environment... can I still do that changing to amgtar? thanks David ---------------------- David Simpson - Computing Support Officer Institute of Biomedical Engineering - IBME Old Road Campus Research Building Oxford, OX3 7DQ Tel: 01865 617697 ext: 17697 From: Jean-Louis Martineau [mailto:martin...@zmanda.com] Sent: 10 December 2015 16:51 To: David Simpson <david.simp...@eng.ox.ac.uk>; amanda-users@amanda.org Subject: Re: failed to change dir (error from selfcheck / amcheck) On 10/12/15 11:45 AM, David Simpson wrote: I'm not 100% on it... Can that error be ignored and you can still amdump then? TRY IT! The DLE was constructed as an include/exclude but I think the problem is that combination of user and setgid?

I also notice the directories I'm seeing this so far have setgid on them. So you know what the problem is. If the solution was obvious, you would not post a question.

If I comment the DLE it warns about, it'll happen on the next one too. service selfcheck: selfcheck: Failed to chdir(/export/some/directory/): Permission denied Do the amanda user is allowed to cd to that directory? This is using SSH. I'm can't see a problem client side at the moment - any pointers? thanks David ---------------------- David Simpson - Computing Support Officer Institute of Biomedical Engineering - IBME Old Road Campus Research Building Oxford, OX3 7DQ Tel: 01865 617697 ext: 17697
