Noticed the speed increase when specifying '-e 100g' !
And notice that even with hardware compression on, these drives can put
100 Gbyte on tape, thanks to the intelligent hwcompr algorithm that
somehow avoids compressing random data.
I wish I owned one of those drives.

WARNING: Tape drive has hardware compression enabled
Please disable this as it hides the true tapesize from amtapetype AND
amanda. amanda can do a much better job of filling up a tape if
amanda knows how much a tape can hold. You can use the optional gzip
compressor on portions of the system to much better advantage in
terms of achieved compression ratios, and generally can stuff more
data onto a tape than using the hardware compressor can do. Here,
under what would be termed ideal conditions, I've had amanda email me
and rep[ort that it just put a bit over 12Gb on a 4Gb tape that has
the last 370megs reserved for something else I'm doing here.
amtapetype uses /dev/urandom as a data source, which will overpower
the hardware compressor and make the data on the tape larger, by
maybe 10-15%, than what was fed in, so you do not get a good estimate
of the tapesize from that effect alone.

Actually Gene, for this drive disabling hardware compression isn't
necessary. It's an LTO/Ultrium drive, and those are actually smart enough
to not compress already compressed data. Notice (below) how he still gets
the full 100GB native capacity? With those drives, you get the best of
both worlds -- you can mix software and hardware compression. Very, very
slick.

RE: Installation problems
Steve, try checking out the logs in /tmp/amanda (if that's where your logs are set to for the client). You can check rundump or sendsize. It should show you the absolute path of the dump program and possibly any parameters used when performing the dump command. -Rob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2004 5:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Installation problems Hello, I've recently started trying to get amanda installed (the newest version as of a week ago) on a few of my linux boxes here in the shop and I've come across two problems. The the server install went smoothly on my Debian Sarge install, as well as a client install on 3 Fedora boxes. However, when I did a client install on two of my other debian boxes, amcheck returns that it cannot find DUMP on those machines. I've checked all of the following: 1) Dump is installed 2) The amanda user has priveleges to use dump 3) Permissions are exactly the same as on my my working amanda server as well as the working fedora boxes. I've checked the FAQ on the website as well as the help documents included with amanda and these mainly suggest that if dump works for the user on the client machine, it should for the server. Soo..I'm stuck. If anyone has any ideas about what I should be checking /doing I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks! -Steve

Amanda will think 100GB and yet the HW compressor will be shrinking that 0-80% depending on the data compressability.

please, help with samba/windows setup
Hi there ! I am having trouble to setup amanda to backup shares from a Windows 2000 server. I am not sure this is possible, (I suspect is not), so I am writing to get a confirmation that this is impossible and ask for suggestions to backup the windows 2000 shares. The PDC is a windows 2000 machine. it's NetBIOS name is kgbserver. The shares that I want to backup are named //kgbserver/Others and //kgbserver/Docs. The amanda server is a RH9.0, with samba configured as security=DOMAIN . The samba NetBIOS name is KGBSERVER2. This is why I think this could be a problem. The samba server is not the PDC for that domain. It is just a client for that domain. This makes any sense ? In the disklist file I put the following lines for the shares I want to backup: kgbserver2 //kgbserver/Others nocomp-user-gnutar kgbserver2 //kgbserver/Docs nocomp-user-gnutar The file /etc/amandapass was configured with the Administrator and password for the Windows machine: //kgbserver/Others administrator%ajjj882 KGB //kgbserver/Docsadministrator%ajjj882 KGB On the amanda server (RH9.0) I can browse the Windows 2000's shares with smbclient, for example: # smbclient -L //kgbserver -U administrator%ajjj882 -W KGB added interface ip=192.168.155.202 bcast=192.168.155.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[KGB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] Sharename Type Comment - --- ...etc... and browsing a specific share: # smbclient //kgbserver/Others -U administrator%ajjj882 -W KGB added interface ip=192.168.155.202 bcast=192.168.155.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Domain=[KGB] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager] smb: \ ls .

Cygwin question...
Hi! I have a number of Win2K machines I'm backing up using cygwin-based Amanda. Most of them work just great, however I haven't added a new machine for several months. Just a few days ago, I added a new machine, using the already-compiled binaries from the other machines, and I'm having a problem... First, this is amanda 2.4.4 (I haven't done any upgrades for a while, so there may be newer versions out). It was compiled on Cygwin 1.3.20. I'm trying to run it on Cygwin 1.5.10. I realize that this might be the problem, but I'd rather not recompile it if I can, as it was a pain to get compiled correctly. It passes amcheck just fine. However, when it actually tries to back up, I get the following errors in the log files: in amandad.*.debug (this being the third amadad.debug file from the evening): amandad: time 0.020: bsd security: remote host xxx.xxx.xxx.edu user amanda local user SYSTEM amandad: time 0.020: amandahosts security check passed amandad: time 0.020: running service /usr/local/amanda/libexec/sendbackup ERROR [sendbackup: could not create data socket: Operation not permitted] in sendbackup.*.debug: sendbackup: debug 1 pid 1344 ruid 18 euid 18: start at Wed Jul 7 23:24:05 2004 /usr/local/amanda/libexec/sendbackup: version 2.4.4 parsed request as: program `GNUTAR' disk `/cygdrive/c' device `/cygdrive/c' level 0 since 1970:1:1:0:0:0 options `|;auth=bsd;srvcomp-fast;index;include-list=.amanda-gtar-includes;' sendbackup: stream_server: socket() failed: Operation not permitted sendbackup: time 0.005: ERROR [sendbackup: could not create data socket: Operation not permitted] sendbackup: time 0.005: pid 1344 finish time Wed Jul 7 23:24:05 2004 Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

RE: please, help with samba/windows setup
A few things I would check: *) Since you area already part of a domain, your amandapass does not require the third field that specifies the workgroup. *) Your disklist specifies nocomp-user-gnutar as the backup method. What is listed in there? *) check out the errors logs in /tmp/amanda. It might help highlight a few issues with the backup errors. *) The packages that you are using are fairly old. You might want to try upgrading them as the updated package might contain fixes relevant to your problem. I am able to successfully backup windows2000 systems using amanda on a redhat box, so I do know that this works. It has nothing to do with your linux box needing to be a PDC.

I will appreciated any ideas and comments. thank you gurus in advance, Amanda server: RH9.0, running 2.4.20-30.9. amanda version: 2.4.3-4 (from the rpm package) samba version: 2.2.7a release 8.9.0 (from the rpm package) -- Miguel Angelo Rozsas K3M Consultoria 19 3232 8886 --- Esta mensagem foi verificada pelo e-mail seguro Maxiweb.

Question about amandad launching
Hello List, I'm very newbie with amanda, so maybe my question will be very simple. I've search on Internet, Amanda's documentation and archives but no answer for my problem, I cannot launch correctly amandad, here is my debug logs (/tmp/amanda/amanda-.debug) : amandad: dgram_recv: recvfrom() failed: Socket operation on non-socket amandad: error receiving message: Socket operation on non-socket amandad: time 1.231: error receiving message: Socket operation on non-socket amandad: time 1.231: pid 9348 finish time Thu Jul 8 15:59:00 2004 Do you know what is my problem ??

amdump/amrecover problem
Hi, I've got the following error when I run amrecover: - amrecover add dumpdates Added /etc/dumpdates amrecover extract Extracting files using tape drive 0 on host typha.nmsu.edu. The following tapes are needed: Biology-1 Restoring files into directory /home/cngo Continue [?/Y/n]? y Extracting files using tape drive 0 on host typha.nmsu.edu. Load tape Biology-1 now Continue [?/Y/n/s/t]? y EOF, check amidxtaped.timestamp.debug file on typha.nmsu.edu. amrecover: short block 0 bytes UNKNOWN file amrecover: Can't read file header extract_list - child returned non-zero status: 1 Continue [?/Y/n/r]? y amrecover That error disappears if I comment out the 'tapedev 0 'in my amanda.conf file -amanda.conf-- tpchanger chg-scsi# the tape-changer glue script tapedev 0 changerfile /usr/pkg/etc/amanda/backup/chg-scsi.conf --- However if I do that, amcheck generates the following error: --- % amcheck backup Amanda Tape Server Host Check - Holding disk /data/amanda: 24318770 KB disk space available, that's plenty amcheck-server: could not get changer info: check your config and use a config file for chg-scsi Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check Client check: 1 host checked in 0.060 seconds, 0 problems found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.4p2) --- if I change 'tapedev 0 ' to 'tapedev enrst0' for example, amrecover works well but amcheck still gives that error message. As I understand from amanda documents, the value of tapedev is the configuration to use, so it should be a number between 0 and 9. I don't think it's good idea to set 'tapedev 0' when running amdump and comment it out when running amrecover. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could advise me how to resolve that problem. Thank you very much, Co

that's been forgotten on holding disk and won't be flushed. Can

That's correct.
It's a little bug in the code.
Creating a little patch is on my todo list (when I find the time).
The bug is in this little subroutine in planner.c. Something that
shouldnt happen does happen: when the last full dump is
on holdingdisk, then the routine gets called with an empty label,
and it returns 1 to trigger warning message.
925 static int when_overwrite(label)
926 char *label;
927 {
928 tape_t *tp;
929
930 if((tp = lookup_tapelabel(label)) == NULL)
931 return 1; /* shouldn't happen, but trigger warning
message */
932 else if(!reusable_tape(tp))
933 return 1024;
934 else if(lookup_nb_tape() conf_tapecycle)
935 return (lookup_nb_tape() - tp-position) / conf_runtapes;
936 else
937 return (conf_tapecycle - tp-position) / conf_runtapes;
938 }
939
You see where the empty tape name comes from and the overwritten in 1
run too.
I didn't yet decide how to resolve it. Is an empty label really
an indication of a dump on holdingdisk in all cases? In that case
just return 1024 or so.
Or should we change infofile to use some string like **HOLDINGDISK**
as a fake tapelabel?
