I am using indexing, and gnutar to backup all of my filesystems, I keep the indexes in /etc/amanda/backupset/index/ according to my amanda.conf file. backups are working properly, no errors reported. I can run amrestore on a tape and see all of the files that are supposed to be backed up.. I ca

Re: mirrored remote backups

you could have a script at the end of the backup rewind the tape, and use ssh to pipe it it to a file on the remote end. dd if=/dev/nst0 | ssh remotehost 'dd of=/output/file' or something similar to that. kinda hackish.. but it could work for you.. and ssh can be autmated securely with authoriz

you could change the cron entry on the amanda server to remotely execute the mysqldumps with ssh. #!/bin/sh LIST_OF_HOSTS="foo bar baz" for host in $LIST_OF_HOSTS; do ssh $host /usr/local/sbin/do-mysql-dump.sh done /usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1 -ben On Mon, 10 Jun 2002, Fabien SEISEN wr

it sounds like amcheck is getting run with the wrong permissions.. can you check the permissions, and paste it for both amcheck and amdump? -ben On Mon, 10 Jun 2002, Alessandro Prete wrote: > I had to split a big partition of a Linux fileserver into several part due > to the limit of Amanda bac

I'm not sure why the travan tape is not working properly.. you may want to upgrade to Redhat 7.3 for both driver issues, and security reasons.. can I say that again.. UPGRADE :) as far as your system instability, the mdrecovery process is a program that monitors raid disks. it's only need

you also need to update the cron entries so that it only runs on the days you want it to.. read the crontab man page, and run the apropriate crontab command for your system. (i can't tell you any more, because you didn't say what OS and version you're running) -ben On Mon, 10 Jun 2002, Fernan A

read the amanda faq.. http://amanda.sourceforge.net/fom-serve/cache/29.html no, you can not store more than one backup session per tape.. that's dangerous. (cheap backup programs let you do it, well.. because they're cheap) -ben On Tue, 11 Jun 2002, M. Cao wrote: > > Hi, > > I am first time

2002-06-18 Thread Ben Kochie
that's an interesting idea.. maybe it would be better to make it part of the planner.. planner sees dumps in the holding disk, adds that count to the plan for the current day, and will flush it along with the current disks. this would save a lot of time for me as well. just add to amanda.conf:
