holding disk full
Hello, list i got some very old dumps on my holding disk, which i dont need anymore, so deleted them from the holding disk. But amamda is still thinking that my holding disk is full, it somehow remembers that there are these dumps on the holding disk. How can i tell amanda to forget about these old dump i have removed from the holding disk ? Cheers, karsten

amrestore + tar not working.
Hi. I just want to extract * from a tar'ed tape archive to '.' (current directory on the backup server). I've done it before and it worked OK. Maybe I wrote something down wrong from before. /usr/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/nst0 servername pathname | tar xvf - All I get for any server/filesystem is: tar: /whatever/whatever: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar: /whatever/whatever2: Cannot open: No such file or directory . . tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Am I doing something wrong? wab
RE: amrestore + tar not working.
Hi Wayne, I'm new to this group but in my experience you need to specify the directory name to extract for tar So if you want everything relative to server pathname you would specify /usr/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/nst0 servername pathname | tar xvf - ./ or if you know the directory name /usr/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/nst0 servername pathname | tar xvf - ./foo This will extract files into your current working directory you can test it with /usr/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/nst0 servername pathname | tar tvf - ./foo HTH! Does anyone know how to get around [parse of reply message failed] when backing up a solaris 2.6 client to amanda server? Any help would be appreciated more details of setup if needed but I'm heading away for the evening so will get back tommorrow. regards, Stephen -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Byarlay, Wayne A.

RE: amrestore + tar not working.
Just an observation: 1. Tar will happily extract the entire contents of the archive if you don't specify files or sets of files to extract. So: tar xvf - says extract all files from archive that is in standard input. 2. Check to see if your user ID has permission to extract the files into the current directory. If you are running the tar as the 'amanda' user ID, you may not be able to write the extracted files into the current directory. If the parent directories could not be created, the messages you are seeing are what could be expected in that case. Don Donald L.

Samba and special characters in filenames
Hi all, I'm having a problem with amanda backing up files across a samba share when they contain certain special characters (namely german umlauts, french accents, some apostrophes, that kind of thing). If I use tar natively across the mounted share, it converts these characters into their unicode equivalents, but when amdump runs, it reports (Called name not present) NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND Is this a limitation of amanda, or is there something I can change in the configuration that will allow this to work? Thanks in advance Matt
RE: amrestore + tar not working.
Hmm. Well, I looked closer (by piping through more) at the output more; and there's some permission denied's that I'm not especially too worried about. Also, the /dev was not ignored when backing up root on the client; so naturally I expect Cannot mknod; operation not permitted is probably because it can't copy /dev/floppy, for instance, to an amanda archive! For the most part, I've got this stuff figured out... thanks all for your help! I'm sure I'll be back with more newbie-type questions, probably pertaining to client configuration. wab. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 12:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: amrestore + tar not working. What does the full output stream look like? Tar issues that error message when it fails at part of the extract, but not fatally. For example, a directory might already exist with read-only permissions and tar cannot overwrite it, but everything else in the extract goes OK. Look at the complete stream and see if you can find out the original complaint from tar. Don Donald L. (Don) Ritchey E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Byarlay, Wayne A.

multiple ethernet cards
Is it possible to run two amanda jobs at the same time on different ethernet cards. I have a machine that I am planning to use to backup my Win2k users. The data will be backed up to one of two partitions. Would it be possible to run Amanda jobs on different ethernet cards that backup to different partitions? Some users will back up to bk0 via eth0 and others will back up to bk1 via eth1. I am asking the question because I thought that I had read some place that you can ony run one Amanda job at a time. I was wondering if different interfaces and backing up to HD might solve the problem.

The two amanda jobs part is just having two configurations with two disklists and running them in parallel: 01 23 * * 0-5 /home/amanda/bin/config0 01 23 * * 0-5 /home/amanda/bin/config1 The two ethernet cards part is a little trickier, and is a properly a network administration question, not an Amanda question. :-) If: You have two routed subnets, The amanda server is dual-homed (i.e., has two hostnames), All DLEs in config0 are on subnet 0, all DLEs in config1 are on subnet 1, ...then it's trivial and just works. If you're one big switched LAN, and your switches are VLAN-capable, and you have control over the VLAN organization, you can do essentially the same thing. If you're one big switched LAN, and you can't do VLAN, then you try to find out if your server and switch are capable of trunking. -- Jay Lessert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Accelerant Networks Inc.

I was wondering if different interfaces and backing up to HD might solve the problem. Normally there can be only one amanda client active, because there is only one program listening on port 10080. But you can recompile a second set of amanda programs that listens on another set of service ports that do not confict with eachother: ./configure --prefix=... --with-testing=tst and then define a second set of services in /etc/service with the suffix tst: amanda-tst10090/udp kamanda-tst 10091/udp The feature was designed to be able to test amanda without interfering with the production run, but you could just as well give it a meaning ful name in your context, like --with-testing=eth1, listening on service amanda-eth1. Then the amanda on host bk0, compiled with standard settings communicates to clients listening on port 10080, and host bk1, compiled with --with-testing=eth1 backs up to possibly the same clients but using programs listening on port 10090. Each client needs both set of programs installed, in a different directory. This all said, I still don't understand why you want to do this actually. -- Paul

NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND listing \profil\Application Data\Microsoft\Macros complémentaires\* ...etc... The above msgs have to do with the codepage setting of your samba. I still haven't figured out the exact details, but tweeking the smb.conf file helps. I had to add: character set = ISO8859-1 to the global section. This solved that problem for win2000 and WinNT4 systems, but it introduced the problem to Win9x. That was a long time ago; and we have no Win9x anymore in your disklist. === See also: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg20577.htm Samba 3 is out now, and has a complete rewritten support for unicode characters in filenames etc. Maybe thre is decent solution following that path.
