Re: backing up only local filesystems

[johnd13]

I found out what the problem was..

after checking things in archives and other
mailings, I noticed references to amandad and
client, I checked my install again and i did not
have the client installed!!!

I installed the rpm file and the amcheck ran fine
however, why did not amcheck complain about this
to begin with!!!

Anyway, I did a small backup to tape and now am having trouble restoring

I am using tar and this is the restore command
and it says it cannot find the file when I know
it was there...

Is this correct?

amrestore -p /dev/nst0 SERVERNAME / |gtar xvf - etc/hosts

amrestore complains it cannot find the file...

 Am I missing something?  Can't you just remove the remote filesystems
 from disklist in your amanda configuration so that it doesn't back 
 themup?

backing up only local filesystems

hello,

amanda on a raidzone

[johnd13]

Hello,

Anyone got amanda running on a raidzone
on redhat7.1 with a adaptec DLT two drive
jukebox?

I install the rpm files for redhat 7.1
but I am having trouble trying to get the
changer config file to work properly.

It looks like it will not perform any unload
or cycle through tape elemements.

I can label new tapes. ALso, do I have to configure
the network files if I only want to do local backups? 

The  amdump complains of planner  request to
local host timed out.

I also want to know if I have the latest rpm
file for redhat7.1 

amanda-2.4.2p2-1
amanda-server-2.4.2p2-1.

ALso, with this version can I backup
a large filesystem? I have a resier volume
with 60 gig. Of course I can only use tar.

Thanks!
