Hi, I'm using Amanda for 7 years now, and now the version 2.6.* does not compile anymore on linux. So I tried versions 3.2.* and 3.3.* , and every version I tried it segfaults on some point. On amlabel, or amcheck or amdump. I get errors like TypeError in method 'critical' , argument 1 of type char * Best regards Gregor
Re: samba backups
As I wrote about issues with samba backup, I can now say that backup doesnt stall if I enable compression on server (amanda server), and regulary stalls without compression. Has to be something wrong with pipeing to tar. regards, Gregor
Re: samba backups
Hi, I checked and there is plenty of space on all drives, and samba does not log anything on smbclient behalf. And I dont run samba server. Strange that the other amada config dumps fine, and this stalls everytime on same spot! regards, Gregor Ibic
Re: samba backups
Hm, hm, strange. I created a new amanda conf with only that share in disklist and it finishes ok. Could be a problem of indexing? I saw that once a while sendbackup sends index info, for file indexing purpose. Could this be a problem? Where can I trace this out. It seems that is not a smbclient problem, but with some thing in Amanda. regards, gregor

Re: samba backups
Ok, I wait for 10 hours (ethernity for me), and I see that it backuped about 300MB of a 30GB job. Other shares that work are on the same server, just on the other partition. Then I kill smbclient and amdump resumes till the end of disklist. I will try with . (dot) and report, but I notice that the manual run of smbclient also stalls for about 10sec at the point (file/folder) where smbclient from amanda stalls, but then resumes normally. At that point smbclient receives about 100th error with permission denied, but on manual run this doesnt bother the execution. I will also try to strace the process (didnt come to my mind sorry). regards, Gregor Ibic
samba backups
I have a problem with backuping one samba share. Backup / smbclient stalls after backuping some data. Files on the server dont have permission to access them, but it should skip them with errors and backup other data, but sendbackup stalls and I have to kill smbclient to finish amdump. I dont receive timeout or any other error, it just waits for eternity. If I backup the same share directly from command line with same command ... smbclient .. -E -d0 -Tqca file.tar * it finished ok, with permission errors, but it finishes. What is wrong? regards, gregor
Re: runtapes problem
I have 1 logical tape in a cycle but this can be splited in two tapes. Is this ok? I dont want to do two day-alternate backup with full and increment 1 dumps. I want to do full dumps every day, and instead of using one tape I would like to use two tapes. Graeme Humphries wrote: On Thu, 2005-07-14 at 20:57 +0200, Gregor Ibic wrote: yes. should it be 2 ? It should be the number of tapes you have in a cycle, AFAIK. But I want to use everyday full backups on new tapes, in cycle of reusable tapes So you want full backups every day, onto a different tape every day? I'd think the easiest way to set this up would be to set tapecycle to the number of tapes you have in rotation, or the number of tapes your changer can hold, and then use the dumptype option "strategy noinc". Somebody who's been using AMANDA longer can probably correct me though. ;) Graeme

Samba issues
I found out that if I run more than one samba dump (smbclient) at once, the smb jobs get stucked. If I run them serialy (spindle) it works much better (probaby ok). There must be some issues with multiple simultaneus smb jobs, but I cant tell what is wrong. Also the jobs have to be a little bit larger (few GB at least). regards, gregor
RE: Problems backing up via Samba - again.
Tape config fails. Yes I have holding disks, and this config worked time ago. I do not have always timeouts in the log. Sometimes the smbclient just stall after some hour of downloading data. It seems like the smbclient and tar stop comunicating or something like that. It maybe also the problem comunicating from smb traffic to localhost traffic (amanda protocol) at high utilizations. It is difficult to debug cause this happens only in the night. If i start it on the daylight, to disk config, it work just fine. I have to take one day and run tape config out of the schedule. regards, gregor
RE: Problems backing up via Samba - again.
I think I have a similar problem, but I didnt detect which file is causing problems. Also in one setup/config it signals the error and on the other config not. Everything is the same except the backup medium (tape, disk) really strange regards, gregor
smb backup timeout
I backup some smb shares. It worked nice for a while but then this strange things start to happen. I have several smb shares in disklist that i backup and it seems like the smbclient stalls on non/defined times. Sometimes one diskentry stall , on second time another diskentry stall, so the backup do not finish if I dont kill the smbclient. Strange thing is that on the same night i run a second backup job to disk, and this works ok. no problems. I then optimized the first backup job with 2 maxdumps, so in this way the other diskentries do not get blocked and added a spindle to smbshares, so only one is done at once. No difference. The smbclient stalls. With disk backup job it works ok. Any suggestions? regards, gregor
samba3
here is the latest patch to samba3. before there were more issues with smbtar, but there were solved (i posted a bug with some diffs and samba people fixed it).

Subject: Amanda and Samba 3.0.0
Hi, amanda-users,
has anyone tried using the shiny new Samba 3.0 with Amanda?
I compiled Samba 3.0 today and recompiled Amanda 2.4.4p1, too, just to
make sure it knows about that new smbclient (don´t know if that was
necessary).
Now I get some ugly "driver: [no backup size line]" in my amstatus.
The sendbackup.xy.debug for such a share looks like:

The line

backup -E -d0 -TXqcg - .RECYCLER*
seemed odd to me, I checked dumptype and excludes:
> define dumptype root-tar {

I will have a closer look at the exclude-options of the new smbclient.
Maybe leaving the excludes away for testing tells me more.
Good old Samba-exclusion-topic ;-)

I haven´t explored further, but just want to probe:
Is there a patch necessary to use Amanda 2.4.4p1 with Samba 3.0?
If yes, does that patch exist already ?

I mentioned some time ago that it would be nice to have a possibility to trigger some jobs before backup is started. Jobs should be triggered on the client. It would be nice to trigger backups of ACL, maybe ntbackup jobs, I know that this can be done with ssh but it is not so nice. regards, gregor
RE: not an amanda tape
I also have such a situation! if I try to relabel it, it say that the tape is already labeled. But this is probably read from tapelist file and not really from the tape. version 2.4.4-20030605 chg-zd-mtx regards, gregor
RE: LTO1 tapetype
I first taped some jobs with amanda and check the speed of the unit.

its finished!
define tapetype unknown-tapetype {

does that look right for LTO1?

chg-zd-mtx little coorection on rewinding
I changed the position of sleep command when tape is inserted with changer. Its better to wait first a poll_drive_ready seconds when tape is inserted and then try to rewind the tape. works really smoothly this way. if the delay is at the end of the loop, the rewind command produces errors, cause tape is not really fas enough. regards, gregor chg-zd-mtx.patch Description: Binary data
reuse of tapes
I setup amanda config for test environment and enter: dumpcycle 1 runspercycle 1 tapecycle 1 tapes and doing always full backup why I get problems on reusing the tape on the same day several times? I see that changer loops on all tapes and then exits. regards, gregor

RE: holding disk 2GB
I have a 100GB holding disk, and chunks set to 0GB
holding disk 2GB
why i get chunks od 2Gb in holding disk even if I have kernel 2.4.20, ext3 and amanda compiled with 64bit offset? regards, gregor
RE: cygwin & spaces in disklist directory
in ideal environment you could boot your PC remotly with network boot, that boots partimage create a remote disk image and back this file with amanda. what do you think? regards, gregor
chg-zd-mtx configuration file problem
i configured chg-zd-mtx, it works ok, besides that does not reall all parameters from the config file some parameters are read an some not, strange. i then modified the cgh-zd-mtx directly and it works ok, but it would be nicer if it reads the config file properly. regards, gregor
recover boot diskette
does anyone have a boot diskette with amanda clients on it, to boot from the diskette and restore the server? regards, gregor
amrecover tapeserver
I compiled amanda package on another PC and then installed it on the backup server. Now the amrecover default tapeserver and indexserver points to the PC where the package was compiled. Is there an option to specify tape and index server in the config file, cause I'm lazy to always type that in the command line? Regards, Gregor
chg-zd-mtx read configuration
why only some of configuration parameters are read for example, firstslot and lastslot are read properly but offline_before_unload not (and some others also not)? which is the preferes changer method? chg-zd-mtx , chg-mtx, or chg-scsi? regards, Gregor
RE: rait output driver
Is it possible to create a config with rait writing and where the tape part is done with some rotation (like few tapes with full backup) and one disk "tape" with everyday full backup. In this way I would have a fast recover procedure for the last day and do the backup only once and not twice for each configuration. Regards, Gregor
RE: amrecover file based backup and rewind
Jean helped me. I set the amrecover_changer in amanda.conf to a string "changer" and used settape changer in amrecover and now it works great! regards, Gregor
amrecover file based backup and rewind
Im trying to recover some file from file based backup. Im using the changer for rotating backup folders. The problem is that amrecover wants to rewind the tape, but it tries to rewind the file:/data/Daily instead of file:/data/Daily/backup/Daily03 which is the real "file" backup tape. If I rewind it manually it still tries to do it and amrecover fail. Regards, Gregor
AMRecover
I still cant figure out why I dont see files from incremental backup. I see only files from full backup with amrecover ls command. Im using file based backup with some slots, so each backup data goes to another folder. I can see files from the incremental backup in data and also in index files but with amrecover I cant list them. Any suggestions? Regards, Gregor
RE: Tapeless backup
Ok, I have done some symlinks to data directories and create a few tapes with amlabel. I create backup, first full and then incremental. It works ok. Before incremental I add some file to the directory that I backup. Then when I try to recover files I do not get this additional file that is in incremental backup. In index files I can read it, and tha backup was ok, but when listing the disk (setdisk /... and ls) I cant get this file listed. Any sugestions? Regards, Gregor
Tapeless backup
Hi! I can do a tapeless backup but only one revision. New backup overwrites the old one. I saw postings how to use changer device but that was for version that didnt have file device. What is the strategy to have for example 7 daily backups level 0 that go to diferent places? Regards, Gregor
How can I execute pre-job and post-job tasks?
I want to stop some service,... Regards, Gregor
