Couple of doubts about report and tapes
Hi list:
I've got a 2 or 3 doubts about amanda and tapes:
USAGE BY TAPE:
Label Time Size %Nb
DIARIO08 0:07 6568933K3.2 8
1.- ¿What does Nb column mean?
2.- ¿Does amanda allways rewinds the tape before writing to it (so tape is
allways overwrited)? (I think this is true)
3.- On the other hand, incremental, AFAIK, means "backup of all the files
that have changed since the last backup, even if that was an incremental
backup (as opossed to a full backup)". Is there a way to make a differential
backup ("backup of all the files that have since the last FULL backup").
TIA :-)

Freebsd 6.1 + daemontools is work?
Hi there, For a few days I am trying to communicate my freebsd 6.1 client with my amanda server. But I still got this message “dgram_send_addr: sendto(X.X.X.X.953) failed: Socket is already connected” at /tmp/amanda files. Well my service has run file that has “exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid amanda /usr/local/bin/netcat -l -u -p 10080 -e /usr/local/libexec/amandad >/dev/null 2>/dev/null” in it. If you look the command you can see that “–q 0” parameter is missing, which is used in default amanda documantation (http://www.amanda.org/docs/install.html), because when I use it, service fails to start with out giving any message. I installed netcat instead of using nc but it doesn’t improve situation. Still can not use “-q 0”. Well, when I try to see what is the meaning of –q parameter I can not see a –q parameter in man pages. (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=nc&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html) I configured firewall to allow with any any port communication on udp and tcp between clien and server. Any ideas pls? I am out of idea. Aykut Soner Demirkol System Admin Bogazici University 0212 359 4715 -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

RE: Windows domains...
I am using a domain user with success. However, my amandapass entries look like your #2 entry below. Basically: //servername/d$ user%password NETBIOSDOMAINNAME I'm not sure what to tell you to try, but I wanted to let you know I have it working. :-) Is the domain user a Domain Admin?

All 4 servers (3 XEN guests + host) are using the same SATA disks and single NIC interface. All servers are very low load systems, just running different web servers that aren't hit very regularly. I think it could be a timing issue also, but am a bit unsure of where to look. I see that I get all the estimates, and I always get at least 2 dumps in a run (1 from my physical backup server and 1 from one of the XEN host/guest servers). What files should I be looking at to see any timeout errors? All I seem to find is FAILED messages for the dumps but no explanation of why -- maybe I need to turn up debugging from default. I've had a look at both client and server but there are so many and I'm not clear as to which I should concentrate on.
