So do:

After +1 hour Gesamtzahl geschriebener Bytes: 86991011840 (81GB, 27MB/s) (English: Total number of written bytes ) Seems you have some mixed English-German environment. Amanda specifically looks for the English string, and does not recognize the german words. Could it be that some amdump runs somehow use the german environment? Seems to work but why not directly with amanda?!

Re: DAMN! I'm getting the Host down error -Thanks
Stefan, I tried you're example and other examples for the xinetd.conf file and nothing worked. I'm thinking the OS is a bit old and needs upgrading. (Redhat 7 and Redhat 8) Old version of amanda 2.4.4p1 worked. Maybe I'll try 2.4.4p4 Thanks again. -todd At 04:09 PM 11/2/2005, Stefan G. Weichinger wrote: Stefan G.

Different DLE per day
Title: Different DLE per day On Wednesday, i have to backup more folder than the others workdays. In addiction, the Wednesday backup use two tapes instead of one and i don't have a tape changer (i heard about a chg-manual script that simulate a tape changer but i don't know how it works). Can i do this? Is there a way to change number of tapes and DLE on a certain day in amanda? Or i have to make two different configuration? Many thanks Giovanni
Incrementals even if tape is big enough
Hi all, until yesterday I thought I understand amanda roughly, but now I'm not sure anymore. I thought that the planner tries to put as much as possible from all DLE to the tape. I just installed a new tape drive with big tapes which should be big enough to hold a full dump of all systems every day at the moment. So, why does the planner schedule incremental dumps when he could do full dumps? Best regards Andreas Mock

And the cleanfile is overwritten by the redirection as an empty file again. The initialization part of the code checks for the existance of a cleanfile, but doesn't check the contents or the ability of the script to read/write the file. I'd suggest you check the ownership/permission/existance of '/usr/local/amanda/etc/amanda/daily/changer-clean'. If empty or containing a non-numeric, make it a 1 line file containing a zero. After you try using slot 8 again, hopefully successful, check the cleanfile again. Maybe something trashes in the script.

O.k. I tried it today and using the chg-multi changer script with
entries like:
slot 1: rait:{tape:/dev/nst0,file:/some/path}
I was able to do some backups after both the virtual tape and the real
tape had the same label. If they differed I got a
Numeric value of of domain error.
Restore using amrecover failed out of the box with the same error. When
I set the tape device to either on of the rait component it worked well.

You may be the first to try it.
Is there anything you can see different in the index dirs,
or curinfo, or ???
What I'm wondering eventually is whether the virtual tape
can be removed without the real tape losing its index. I guess
not as you found they must be the same tape label.
Did you have to do an amlabel for one, then an amlabel -f for
the second? What does that do to the tapelist?
