As usual, you said it in fewer words, Jon.  And I forgot to 
emphasize that one would have to use tar, but then, from his 
disklist, *I* assumed (without even thinking about it) that the  
choice of tar had already been made.  But I should have mentioned 
it anyway, thanks.

Nope, you'll have to continue with /home/directory3, home/directory4 
etc.  Unless you want to write up a filelist of excludes that lists 
the ones already done and pass that to the backup spec for 
/home/data.  But then the remains must fit on a tape too...  Do 
they?

But lets take this as an opportunity to clear up something else that 
the average newbie *might* think is carved in stone and maybe add 
this to the FAQ even:

Please note that one is NOT constrained by the choice of backup 
specifications currently included in the amanda.conf file.  Those 
are the most common candidates, but there isn't a thing to prevent 
you from building your own backup spec by suitable cut&paste or 
imaginative editing to make up a whole new specification.  You 
could write a spec for each entry in your disklist if there is a 
visible advantage to doing so.  Making a special, for this 
situation, exclude file is quite within the realm of customising 
how amanda works.  I've done it here.  Just give that exclude file 
a unique name, and use that unique name in your spec as the exclude 
file.  Its that easy.

done all the time.

Have to use tar, not dump to do directories.
Set up a uniq dumptype for /home/data that differs only in the
exclude list file which would exclude directory and directory2
as well as all the usual suspects ... err directories.

amanda isn't smart enough to pick were it left off if it ran out of tape
it will attempt to start from the begining again. Because of this I was thinking

Origianally I have a disklist of /home/data but unfortantely is is 92G but tape
can't write a complete 92 gigs. So I was thinking of spliting this in 3's

1) /home/data/directory

This is generally left up to amanda.  4 things to consider:

1, amanda cannot append an incremental to an existing tape, so each 
run of amanda will need a different tape.  Without a changer, this 
can be a daily chore that ocasionally gets forgotten.

2, with a suitable set of values in amanda.conf, amanda will 
virtually never do a full backup of the whole system in one swell 
foop.  Amanda will adjust the scheduling to do about the same 
amount of data on each run instead.

This has the effect of spreading the fulls around over the specified 
'dumpcycle' period, doing a different set of entries in the 
disklist as fulls, and the rest as incrementals on any one night.

'dumpcycle' is often set to 1 week or 7 days.  This guarantees a 
full of the whole system will be done during that time period.

'runspercycle' could be anything up to that same 7 days, and tells 
amanda how many runs she actually has to fit the above time 
constraint into.  I presume that could be higher than the dumpcycle 
if you had a crontab entry that ran it twice a day for instance.  
But normally it gets run in the middle of the night so she can hog 
the system without bothering the users who may be awake that time 
of the night too much.

'tapecycle' is then set to the number of tapes in the storage pool.  
You should have them labeled sequentially within the constraints of 
whatever you set 'labelstr' to be in amanda.conf, and should have 
enough tapes to allow 2 full runspercycle of tapes to be run thru 
amanda plus a few spares.  If tapecycle=runspercycle, then you 
would be over-writing the last good backup of something every night 
with no assurance that the newly made tape is a good tape.  By 
haveing tapecycle >= 2*runspercycle, you are assured of having at 
least 2 (hopefully good) fulls of everything on hand at all times.

I use runspercycle at 7 days, and tapecycle=20 here.

'runtapes' is normally set to 1, but could be more.  I've not tried 
that at greater than 1 and actually had it used with the amount of 
data I have.

3, amanda cannot span a disklist entry to more than one tape, so 
adjust the sizes of the disklist entries to suit that constraint.  
She will if permitted goto the next tape, but that disklist entry's 
data that was in process when she had to goto the next tape will be 
restarted from the top on the next tape.  So there is a possibility 
that it might use up all the tapes in the magazine if there is too 
much data for one tape in one entry of the disklist.

4, generally speaking, using the drives built-in compressor is a bad 
show.  It hides the true capacity of the tape from amanda, which is 
a Bad Thing(tm).  :-)

First, you are stuck with it full time, and any already packed data 
you want to backup will grow when presented to that dumb compressor 
in the drive.  Sometimes a _lot_.

Second, most of our compression utils can very handily beat that 
hardware compressor at the compression game.

Third, you can adjust each entry in your disklist to use, or not 
use, the compression available on the system.  To start, use a 
backup profile that includes the use of 'client best' or 'server 
best' for all disklist entries and read the email from amanda when 
its done.  Then reset to no compression for any disklist entry 
whose reported compression is over 100%, which indicates that the 
data actually grew.  This will be your archived files collection 
probably because so far, a .bz2 file is about the best compression 
available, and it will grow quite a bit if re-compressed a second 
time.

This isn't that much help I know, its more of a philosophical 
dissertation than specific help, but it addresses many of the 
newbieish 'make amanda do as I want' ideas.  Amanda will do a 
better job when just given an outline of what she needs to do, and 
you leave the details of how its gets done to amanda.

I note you have a DLT drive.  That makes the tapes a lot more $$ 
than my DDS drive, one of the reasons I can afford to use amanda 
here at home.  Howwever, there has been a lot of bashing of dat 
drives in general here on this list.  Its been my experience that 
once a dat drive starts asking for a cleaning tape every 10 hours 
or so, its about past time to bin it.  A DLT drive OTOH, should run 
longer, and should be a repairable item, the more expensive stuff 
usually is.

Lastly, some operational improvements have been made to amanda since 
those rpms were built, so you might want to consider getting the 
latest snapshot tar's from Mr. Martinea's site at 
iro.umontreal.edu.  I've been quite happy

AFAIK, no command from mt except a rewind (if there is unwritten 
data still in the drives buffer) will cause any data to goto the 
tape medium.

'mt' is an adjusting tool, and an inquiry tool, but is not normally 
considered a tape writer other than the above rather singular 
condition.  And its not mt that does that buffer flushing, its the 
drive making sure that everything that was written actually gets to 
the tape surface.

Amrestore not seeing headers

2002-07-22 Thread Chris Dahn

  I do a restore at the end of each month to make sure my archival backups 
are doing okay. I've noticed that they've been having a problem the past 
couple of months and I'm stumped as to the cause since it used to work just 
fine.

  Upon issuing the following command:

"amrestore /dev/nst0"

  it begins restoring, creating a tar file for the first header on the tape 
(/usr/src). However, when it gets to the next header (/tmp), it does not 
start a new tar file. Instead, it continues appending to the same file. The 
resulting tar file is enormous, and contains all of the amanda headers of the 
various partitions.

  The only output is:

amrestore:   0: skipping start of tape: date 20020629 label full1
amrestore:   1: restoring snoopy.mcs.drexel.edu._usr_src.20020629.0

  This runs for a _long_ time, beyond the end of the actual backups on the 
tape.  The headers that are in the file are not corrupted in any way that I 
can see:

AMANDA: FILE 20020629 snoopy.mcs.drexel.edu /tmp lev 0 comp N program /bin/tar

To restore, position tape at start of file and run:
dd if= bs=32k skip=1 | /bin/tar -f...

  Funny enough, amrecover works just fine. I can recover any partition on the 
tape without a problem whatsoever. This seems odd to me since it's just using 
amrestore in the background, right?  Also, requesting that amrestore restore 
a specific partition begins at that partition (i.e. it find the start header 
fine), but it does not stop at the end of that partition on the tape. What 
could be causing amrecover to work okay, but amrestore to malfunction like 
this?

  I am running Amanda 2.4.2p2 on a redhat linux box. The version I'm running 
is from the redhat rpm. I have a SDLT tape drive. I'm not sure what other 
information anyone out there in Amanda-land might want to know. Any ideas 
would be greatly appreciated.

I am new to Amanda and have just installed 2.4.2p2-1 on my Mandrake

little change on the default setup),but I'm not clear how to do daily 
incremental backup.I have HP DLT VS80 external SCSI tape drive 
installed,which has no  tape changer. 

Could somebody tell me how to do this?

Thanks a lot,

There isn't one, really.  mt is for tape and tape drive manipulation.

If you just want to write to a tape, try dump or tar.

HP SureStore on FreeBSD problembs

2002-07-22 Thread Nicholas Paufler

As I mentioned in my previous message I'm still having problems with the
glue scripts and making Amanda work on FreeBSD with my HP SureStore 24x6
autoloader.

chg-chio - Works perfectly except for the fact that it doesn't know that
there is a cleaning tape in slot 6 and thus this causes problems. I did have
to modify the script to fix a typo and a missing brace, though.

chg-zd-mtx - Won't work because some times it wants to access /dev/ch0 and
/dev/sa0 and other times /dev/pass0 and /dev/pass1. I've actually hacked the
chg-zd-mtx script so that it hardcodes all of the calls as appropriate but
there seems to be issues with amserver not being able to access the devices
and I haven't had luck hacking the source. There has got to be some way to
make it work but I'll be damned if I know what it is.

Here's what it shows when I try amcheck:

Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
Holding disk /var/backup/holding: 105446850 KB disk space available, that's
plenty
amcheck-server: slot mt:: tape_rdlabel: tape open: /dev/pass0: Operation not
permitted: No such file or directory
amcheck-server: slot mt:: tape_rdlabel: tape open: /dev/pass0: Operation not
permitted: No such file or directory
amcheck-server: slot mt:: tape_rdlabel: tape open: /dev/pass0: Operation not
permitted: No such file or directory

I'm assuming the problem is that it is trying to make a call to mt in some
fashion, and since my device is defined as /dev/pass0 in my amanda.conf
(Which won't work for mt, which needs to access it by the real device name)
it's not going to go.
If I change it so that it is /dev/ch0:

Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
Holding disk /var/backup/holding: 105446850 KB disk space available, that's
plenty
amcheck-server: could not get changer info: badly formed result from
changer: "cannot open SCSI device '/dev/ch0' - Input/output error"

So clearly the conflict is that sometimes it wants to use one device name
and sometimes another

chg-scsi - After fixing some permissions problems (both /dev/pass* and
/dev/xpt* need to be rw by owner and group) amcheck actually seems to start
running now, but it seems to die trying to load one of the tapes.


Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-
Holding disk /var/backup/holding: 105446850 KB disk space available, that's
plenty
amcheck-server: slot 4: tape_rdlabel: tape open: /dev/pass0: Operation not
permitted

Very similar to what I saw with chg-zd-mtx, but not identical.

Anybody have any suggestions as to where to start looking?

Amanda needs to use the non-rewinding tape device, in your case probably
/dev/nst0. Look for 'tapedev' in your amanda.conf file.

Re: FW: tape labels

2002-07-22 Thread Scott Sanders

You need to specify the tape device that your O/S considers non-rewinding, such
as /dev/st0n - the n usually refers to no rewind.

looking at this you are already labeling tape number 11 ( I presume), so
did the others work ok or am I reading you're labeling system wrong?

Find the line:

tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used


My tape drive HP SureStore 24i and is rewinding, but this option works
fine,
when you eject the tape the drive may rewind it automatically for you
(mine does)

Amanda doesn't normally deal with rewinding devices, use /dev/nst0 
instead so amanda can do the rewind if and when she wants.  This is 
normally configured in /configdir/amanda.conf, or if a changer is 
involved, may be configured in 'changer-you-are-using'.conf

You need to use the non-rewinding tape device.  It's name depends on your 
OS, but based on /dev/st0 for the rewinding device, it's probably 
/dev/nst0.

And I would be *very* grateful if you could:

a) Put some sigdashes "-- " between the body of your message and your 
   *huge* trailing info, and

b) Turn off the "Send as HTML" (uuencoded even!) option in Outlook -- it

At least on the Linux box here you can put
post-install st mt datcomp off
to /etc/modules.conf and it will always set datcomp off immediately
after loading the scsi tape "driver".

I vaguely remember some mt's not supporting the datcomp keyword but
that's just a command and you can replace it.
