What is 'history' telling you in the amrecover session once you have sethost/disk/date and added the dle to be extracted? Check also the output of 'amadmin config info hostname diskname'? I always found amrestore to be more convenient to use when restoring entire dle's...just me though. jf > > > -- > George KelbleySystem Support Group > Computer Science Department University of New Mexico > 505-277-6502 Fax: 505-277-6927

I'm not looking to do RAIT, unless there's a RAIT-mirror option. I could, I suppose, have a second set of tapes in the library, and when amdump finishes, run dd from one tape to another, but it would seem to be preferable to write the data once to both drives simultaneously (i.e. mirrored tapes). That doesn't sound possible though. -- Thanks, Paul
driver says "[missing size line from sendbackup]"
Hi, Got a strange one: client is irix-6.5, server a Debian/Linux running a 64bit kernel both running amanda-2.5.2p1. I was testing my setup by forcing a full with norecord and noindex from a big DLE on the client (~1.7TB) and amdump failed with the subject line. amdump log say: taper: reader-side: got label av24-2_left2_U00012L3 filenum 104 driver: result time 66020.266 from dumper0: FAILED 00-1 "[missing size line from sendbackup]" Looking on the client debug files shows nothing except that sendbackup was started yesterday evening. I was surprised that this actually didn't timeout before as the server's amanda.conf has dtimeout=43200s ie 12hrs and the failure occured after 66020sec... any ideas? jf

Currently you can't write simultaneously with a single configuration at the same time. Chg-multi is something that may help you. But it doesn't work with different sized tapedrives, because there is only one tapetype option you can specify. http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Changers#chg-multi_.28formerly_chg-generic.29 > Alternatively, can I write the same data to both drives such that I > create a duplicate tape set (one to keep on site, one to send off ?). You can setup RAIT: http://www.amanda.org/docs/rait.html http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Set_Up_RAIT_(Redundant_Array_of_Independent_Tapes) But currently only 3 or 5 drive sets are supported.
