Is there anything stopping me from using DDS4 tapes in my DDS2 drive?
Seems like I could just get extra capacity from the drive by having a
longer tape. Will this work? Will it work if I turn off media
recognition?
Just curious.

I want to (once a month) do a backup of all disks. My tapes are not
large enough to fit the whole thing, so I need to spread it across 3
tapes or so. I was thinking of setting up a 1-day dumpcycle with 3
runspercycle and just do all three dumps on a saturday. I don't think
this is the best way

HELP!
I've got a machine that is trying to backup a directory that is about
4GB. I've got the dumptype set with server fast compression. It's
been going for at least 8 hours (on this one disklist entry). The
machine is very fast, so it's not just lagging. Other disklist
entries went fine and
I have a Seagate DDS-2 DAT Drive with hardware compression turned on.
I wanted to know how much data I should be able to get on a tape. I
know that everyone advertises DDS-2 tapes as 8-GB capacity because of
compression. When backing up an entire linux system, I seem to get
exactly 4GB on a tape
I've asked this question before. I don't think i ever got a full
response, but I know I never got it resolved. Can someone explain to
me why disks backed up from the solaris machine (all solaris boxes do
it) are not indexed? The tar files are garbled in the index area on
the linux server. I ca
What can I do if I want to, once every two months, rotate a tapeset offsite? I
run 14 tapes per cycle (2 weeks) and don't want to mail stuff every
two weeks, but wouldn't mind every two months. Is there a way to do
this other than having two different conf's? If I have to use two
confs, can I h
OK, the server that runs the amanda stuff is what gets backed up. I
added another host to the list, flare:/etc. It seems to backup fine;
I get a size and time and everything in the email reports. When I run
amrecover, I can sethost and setdisk, but there is no index records

I have installed libtool, but I still get an error that 'ar' cannot be

OK, right now, I do a full backup every night. That's obviously not going
to work forever ;). How can I run a full backup once a week and
incrementals every day?
Right now, my dumpcycle is set at 0 for everything. That makes it do a full
backup every night, right? So, what do I need to set th
I want to know what happens if the backup server (where the index
files are stored) crashes. Is there a way for amanda to re-index a
tape? Do I need to be duplicating all the amanda stuff elsewhere as a
backup?

I am pretty new to Amanda, so this question might be stupid.
I have a single-tape SCSI unit (DDS-2). I want to be able to backup
more than ~5GB per run. Is there not a way to get Amanda to somehow
stop at the end of a tape, email a request for another tape, and then
continue when the tape has b
