I'm hoping to restrict backups to eth0, the private high speed network. Set up IP routing accordingly. Than any traffic will take that route. AHA thanks, alan
RE: Setting up AMANDA to use private network.
Title: RE: Setting up AMANDA to use private network. Yes...in my case, the amanda server was inaccessible from the other interfaces, but this is correct. Practically this means use the correct fqdn in the .amandahosts file in the ~amanda account on the client (of course, the name should match in /etc/hosts, or your LDAP or NIS or whatever you use for hosts). -Original Message- From: Frank Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wed 10/11/2006 6:59 PM To: Lengyel, Florian Cc: Alan Jedlow; amanda-users@amanda.org Subject: Re: Setting up AMANDA to use private network.

Since Amanda only listens via inetd, if your inetd supports listening only on a particular interface, then you can use that configuration with Amanda. Xinetd supports this for sure, I can't say about others. The other thing you should do is ensure that your routing is configured so that packets to the "internal" IP address of a machine are actually routed over the internal network.

Re: labelling of reused tapes
None of my tapes are new. I put the next 3 tapes that I have in the changer and run amcheck. It seems to be ok with 2 of the 3 tapes but gives me "not an amanda tape (Input/output error)" for slot 3. So I read the archives and they say to label the tape, so I run amlabel: BASH>/usr/sbin/amlabel -f monthly Monthly53 slot 3 changer: got exit: 0 str: 3 /dev/nst0 labeling tape in slot 3 (/dev/nst0): rewinding amlabel: tape_rewind: rewinding tape: /dev/nst0: Input/output error amlabel: tape_rewind: rewinding tape: /dev/nst0: Input/output error amlabel: pid 17508 finish time Wed Oct 11 09:40:36 2006 Is this a tape problem or am I approaching this incorrectly? Steve Matt Hyclak wrote: On Tue, Oct 10, 2006 at 03:00:32PM -0400, Steven Settlemyre enlightened us: I have a monthly backup config with runtapes=3 and 59 tapes in the tapecycle. The instructions I was originally given say to run a script that looks in tapelist, find the highest # then label the next 3 tapes starting from there. This seems wrong because then it wouldn't be a cycle. My question is when I do amcheck, it tells me "(expecting tape Monthly04 or a new tape)". But the next tape I have in my hand is currently labeled Monthly50 which is correct because it is in the tapelist as "20051107 Monthly50 reuse". How do I solve this problem? How do I tell amanda to look for "Monthly50" instead of "Monthly04"? Or how do i have amanda use the tape I give it as long as it's not recently used? That's the "Or New Tape" part. If you've labelled a tape but not used it, it is considered a new tape. Amanda will also accept any tape that is more than tapecycle tapes old, so in my case my tapecycle is 16 tapes, but I actually use 20 in rotation, so that if one fails, I don't have to replace it immediately.
