Re: split disklist aphabetically
I can't seem to get 'amcheck' to accept your suggestion.
Here's what I have in my 'disklist':
zeus /store/homes/students/ag /store/homes/students {
# all directories that start with [a-g]
exclude-tar
include "./[a-g]*"
} 1
When I do an 'amcheck', I get this error:
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
ERROR: zeus: [Can't open disk '/store/homes/students']
ERROR: zeus: [No include for '/store/homes/students/ag']
Client check: 8 hosts checked in 20.072 seconds, 2 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.5)
Should I ignore this message?
Thanx.

Hello Folks,
What are your recommendations for spliting directories with excludes
without having to reorganize directories in a partition that I want to
backup?
Basically, I want:
client /foo/a* dumptype-a
client /foo/b*dumptype-b
.
client /foo/z* dumptype-z
define dumptype common-stuff {
...
}
client FooA /foo {
common-stuff
include file "./a*"
}
client FooZ /foo {
common-stuff
include file "./z*"
}

I use the following in /etc/modprobe.conf: options ip_conntrack_amanda master_timeout=2400 install ip_tables /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ip_tables && \ /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_amanda (Lines 2 & 3 are all one line) This sets the UDP timeout for amanda packets to 2400 seconds, up from the default 300 (don't hold me to that, it might be 600). I was getting estimate timeouts since they were taking longer than 300/600 seconds and the firewall would close the port.

If you haven't compiled with any "portrange" options, you'll have to do something like this: -A INPUT -p udp -s $AMANDA_SERVER -d 0/0 --dport 10080 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s $AMANDA_SERVER -d 0/0 --dport 1025:65535 -j ACCEPT -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University

I've not seen any responses to this query. I suspect the reason is no one had an answer. I certainly don't. In fact I don't think it can be 'forced' in such a way. If correct, then the best you can do is make it 'most likely' to bump each day. For that, a totally untested, WAG, would be 1 for each of the three bumpxxx parameters. Maybe even 0. But I don't know if zero is accepted for those parameters. jl -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road(609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)

iptables script
Hi For the first time ever i have to backup a machine over the 'internet' - This client is using iptables as its firewall. Does anyone have an iptables rule they would like to share that would allow amanda through to be able to backup this client? thanks
