Hi Austin, Thanks very much. Your comments have been very helpful, and I appreciate the obviously considerable amount of time you spent to help me. I'm much farther along on this project as a result. I have no idea how I'm going to verify that everything is working the way I expect it to work, but I guess I will become much more familiar with how to manage AMANDA as I spend more time. AmCheck tells me that I only have one problem. I think AMANDA can't find the vtapes, so I need to learn much more about vtapes. This is an area that I understand theoretically, but I'm having trouble turning this theory into practice.Is there a good discussion of vtapes somewhere?
I have this line in amanda.conf: tapetype "NAS" tpchanger "chg-disk:/etc/amanda/mail.tclc.org/dst" labelstr "vtape.[0-9][0-9]" I am apparently not doing what I want to do, which is point AMANDA to my NAS: bash-4.2$ ls -al /etc/amanda/mail.tclc.org/ : lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 26 Nov 6 07:02 dst -> /net/nas1/d0/Mail.TCLC.org : bash-4.2$ ls /net/nas1/d0/Mail.TCLC.org state vtape.04 vtape.09 vtape.14 vtape.19 vtape.24 vtape.29 vtape.34 vtape.39 vtape.44 vtape.49 vtape.54 vtape.59 vtape.00 vtape.05 vtape.10 vtape.15 vtape.20 vtape.25 vtape.30 vtape.35 vtape.40 vtape.45 vtape.50 vtape.55 vtape.60 vtape.01 vtape.06 vtape.11 vtape.16 vtape.21 vtape.26 vtape.31 vtape.36 vtape.41 vtape.46 vtape.51 vtape.56 vtape.61 vtape.02 vtape.07 vtape.12 vtape.17 vtape.22 vtape.27 vtape.32 vtape.37 vtape.42 vtape.47 vtape.52 vtape.57 vtape.62 vtape.03 vtape.08 vtape.13 vtape.18 vtape.23 vtape.28 vtape.33 vtape.38 vtape.43 vtape.48 vtape.53 vtape.58 Thanks for the help, -- Chris.
