It's done! We've bought a SureStore DDS4i and all the bits. Once I've been in my new job for a few months, I'll see if I can afford to shell out for some new IDE drives and implement software RAID 5 or 10. Thanks again to all for the advice, Tom
new disk?
Hi, i seem to have a problem here. I did a dump of one of my system on
the server and, accordingly to the report, the tape was only used at
38%, but amanda asks me to put a new tape... I dont't get it, first the
tape should be the same used, and in second, in worst it should be #2
and not "new tape".
I guess this may be because the tape was never used, so i've put a new
tape that wasnt labeled with amlabel and waited for the day to pass. But
when i got here this morning, the tape was ejected from the server (and
so the dump failed). So my question is: Should i have labelled the tape?
or is it a configuration problem from me?
and why is amanda asking me for a new tape?
here is my report, if you think you need other logs, just tell me:

Hi, I'm still trying to get amanda running. Since I've made some modifications to chg-zd-mtx I got much further than yesterday, but I still ahve some problems.

Because GNU/Linux sends a packet back when it receives a UDP packet to
a port on which no process is listening, and another GNU/Linux machine
will report this back to the sender as a connection refused. It means
you haven't set up [x]inetd to run amanda on the client.

Sure, just rsync the configuration and index directories over from the
remote machine into a closer index server, and tell amrecover to
use this index server, while still using the remote tape server (I
suppose).

Seems like some config.site or config.cache is breaking the system
auto-detection.

Amanda takes care of running GNU tar as root by itself, you don't have
to configure --with-user=root for GNU tar to work properly.

This file is part of a development-installation of Solaris. You'll
definitely need to install some Solaris package to get anything at all
compiled on this system. Installing pre-compiled versions of GCC and
GNU binutils won't be enough: they'll still want this file to be
present.

Not when using GCC. In fact, that's the reason why configure uses
CFLAGS="-O2 -g" by default, when the compiler is GCC. GCC generates
exactly the same code, regardless of -g, and you can always strip off
debugging information if you wish. Debugging information will only
take up disk space, but since it's not in loadable sections, it won't
even use additional memory when you run the program.

It doesn't look like we're talking lots of disk space here. Consider
buying one or two machines with loads of disk and do backup on disk
only, rsyncing the backups onto a backup of the backup or having the
backup disks on RAID 5, depending on how serious of a failure you're
willing to tolerate.

You can't have whitespace in an exclude-file specification. This is
what breaks the request packet reader.

No, that's just a symptom of the connection being shut down. The link was cut (by your firewall) and when the client tried to write something, it couldn't. >In my firewall, connection timeout is 60 minutes. I think that it's pretty long. But not long enough.

Yep, but for some reason that's the default tapetype name, so you have
to override it with `tapetype NAME' in amanda.conf, and make sure to
`define tapetype NAME' too.

Check the GNU tar 1.13.19 release notes. I believe somewhere it says
GCC 2.8.1 won't compile it properly.

alternate recovery host?
Hey all, Right now my company backs up a large amount of data from a large number of machines to a central amanda host. Since this host is very remote from us we'd like to have the ability to do small restores (small numbers of files) on a different machine here locally. Is there a way to set this up so that the local machine has all the info needed to find/restore files without needing the remote machine?
