These seem like fairly substantial values. 2000 seconds is roughly half an hour. I'll increase them by another 1000 seconds though, to see what happens. -- Please remember that an email is just like a postcard; it is not confidential nor private nor secure and can be read by many other people than the intended recipient.

[Amanda-users] Tape Backup for Windows 2008 Server
Does Amanda backup allow command-line execution? I'm sorry I'm a newbie. I'd like to know if it can perform tape backup somehow similar to NTBackup utility executed in command line. My problem is that in my Visual Basic program, I need to automate backup of MS SQL database to DATA TAPE with Windows 2008 Server. Currently we are using Windows 2003 server but we have to migrate to Windows 2008 for some reasons. Since NTBackup Utility is no longer available in Win 2008, I'm resorting to third party software that I can possibly use. Can anyone help me pls? +-- |This was sent by genalex...@yahoo.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +--

intermittent amanda failure
Hi there I have a server, at a remote location, which has recently started to intermittently fail backups. The amanda client is running Debian Lenny, the amanda server is running Debian Etch. On the amanda server, dpkg -s amanda-server shows Version: 1:2.5.2p1-5 On the amanda client, dpkg -s amanda-client shows Version: 1:2.5.2p1-4 There are two firewalls between the two sites and both have the kernel modules ip_nat_amanda and ip_conntrack_amanda loaded. This is happening often enough to be a worry. I'd like to find out what steps I can take. I've replaced the actual name of the amanda client with in the enclosed log entries. When it fails, in the daily email I get this error reported: cannot read header: got 0 instead of 32768 On the client, in the sendbackup.20100106012630.debug log I see: sendbackup-gnutar: time 0.056: /usr/lib/amanda/runtar: pid 3348 sendbackup: time 0.057: started backup sendbackup: time 90.352: index tee cannot write [Broken pipe] sendbackup: time 90.352: pid 3346 finish time Wed Jan 6 01:28:01 2010 On the server, in the amdump log I see: driver: send-cmd time 1426.876 to taper: FILE-WRITE 00-00011 /dumps/amanda/holding/20100101003007/._.1 UNKNOWNFEATURE / 1 20100101 0 driver: startaflush: LARGEST / 1200164 353040132 (I see this UNKNOWNFEATURE on dle's that do finish fine). I also see this on the server: FAIL chunker / 20100106 1 [cannot read header: got 0 instead of 32768] Thanks -- Please remember that an email is just like a postcard; it is not confidential nor private nor secure and can be read by many other people than the intended recipient.
