Re: [Amanda-users] 'Idiots Guide' for configuring Amanda on Linux?
Hi, dceola schrieb: I'm new to these forums, and am also new to Amanda, and still trying to learn my way around Linux (i'm using Fedora 7). Nothing important for your problem, but if you are new to Linux, I guess you like the easy way to keep your system secure and up to date. Maybe think about a newer distribution. The support for F7 ended in June 2008. Current is F9 and F10 should be released at the end of november. If you need a long term support OS, you can use Centos (based on RHEL/Fedora). Each centos release is maintained 7 years. Unfortunately, i've got to a point where i'm both confused of what i'm doing and unsure of what i should make changes to, for my system as compared to what is outlined in that guide. (for what it's worth, i made it about halfway through that guide) What exactly is confusing you? If anyone could point me to a how-to guide for setting amanda up on linux, with a single scsi tape drive, which will be changed manually, i would be very grateful!

[Amanda-users] 'Idiots Guide' for configuring Amanda on Linux?
Thanks for the response! I went with F7 as i had someone experienced with it assisting me in setting up my server, and at this point i have enough stuff on this server that it wouldn't be very easy to change to a different OS. With regards to the specific 'how to' guide i posted a link to that i had been using, i made it through that guide up to the point of editing the changer.conf file and commenting out 4 specific lines in the /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx file. I believe my confusion lies in trying to figure out what is done in that guide that is specific to using a tape changer, instead of a single tape drive. I could probably make my way through it all, but it's been a lot for me to wrap my head around, and decided to look for a guide thats a bit closer to my situation. +-- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--

You don't need to specify changerdev, changerfile or tpchanger, if you just want to store your backup with a single drive on one tape. Just set tapedev to the non rewinding device. Also you can have a look at http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amanda_chapter_in_Backup_and_Recovery This is a chapter out of the O'Reilly Book Backup Recovery. -- Marc Muehlfeld (Leitung IT) Zentrum fuer Humangenetik und Laboratoriumsmedizin Dr. Klein und Dr. Rost Lochhamer Str. 29 - D-82152 Martinsried Telefon: +49(0)89/895578-0 - Fax: +49(0)89/895578-78 http://www.medizinische-genetik.de

LTO-4 tapetype and blocksize
Hi,
Just got a new HP LTO-4 tape drive and I've done some testing
to get a tapetype entry for it and I don't see much of a difference
between the default (32k) and higher values like 512k, 1024k and
2048k (see below). What are your experiences wrt to a specific choice
of a blocksize for such a drive?
Also: I have LTO-3 tapes written with a blocksize of 32k:
will I be able to extract data from them using a different blocksize?
./amtapetype -e 800G -f /dev/nst0
define tapetype unknown-tapetype {
comment just produced by tapetype prog (hardware compression off)
length 772096 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 95148 kps
}
./amtapetype -o -e 800G -b 512k -f /dev/nst0
define tapetype unknown-tapetype {
comment just produced by tapetype prog (hardware compression on)
length 772096 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 101807 kps
}
./amtapetype -o -e 800G -b 1024k -f /dev/nst0
define tapetype unknown-tapetype {
comment just produced by tapetype prog (hardware compression on)
length 772096 mbytes
filemark 0 kbytes
speed 102261 kps
}
./amtapetype -o -e 800G -b 2048k -f /dev/nst0
define tapetype unknown-tapetype {

}

Re: client errors
I had that problem also, not the linking but when it came time
to run # amcheck.
--with-libraries=/opt/sfw/lib
I resolved it by recompiling, with an additional ./configure option.

bare metal restores
Does anyone know of a guide somewhere about using Amanda for bare metal restores? I know it can be done, but a monkey-see-monkey-do type guide would be of great help to me. Thanks.
