Backup over 2 tapes
Hello
My weeekly backup spans two tapes and I change tapes manually.
When I run amdump WeeklySet1, here is an excerpt of the log

Exclude may not be working
Hi My amanda backup server has the following filesystem structure : - / | terrasky | tsfileserver tslibrary amandaholdingdisk As part of daily backup , /terrasky is backed up (level 0) with the exclude file containing tslibrary and amandaholdingdisk . This works perfectly and I have around 6 GB of data written to tape. tslibrary is a nfsmounted from another server sa03 During my Weeklybackup, I maintain the line /terrasky in my disklist and have the same dumptype as for Daily bkup. When I run amdump WeeklySet1 , and run amstatus, the estimate for /terrasky is found to be 11 GB but when /terrasky is dumped to disk the size increases to 23 GB . Now, I know that /tslibrary from sa03 of approx 12 GB of data was just dumped to disk before sa01 :/terrasky . How do I bypass this problem as it seems that amandaholdingdisk is also being backed up ? regds madhvi
INFO planner sa03 /terrasky/tslibrary_qr 20041206 0 [dumps too big, full dump delayed
Hi I am getting above error message during my Monthly backup. My holding disk is 55 GB - big eneough to accomodate the dump. A level 1 backup is done instead of level 1. Regds M
Filesystems >12 GB
I have a >15GB filesystem that cannot fit on one tape. So as per the
disklist example in the amanda package, I break the filesystem into <12 GB
chunks as follows : -
sa03 /terrasky/tslibrary/ {
# all directories that start with [h-m]
user-tar
include "./[a-f]*"
} 1
sa03 /terrasky/tslibrary/ {
# all directories that start with [n-u]
user-tar
include "./[g-z]*"
}
I get the following error message
[EMAIL PROTECTED] MonthlySet1]$ amcheck -s MonthlySet1
"/usr/local/etc/amanda/MonthlySet1/disklist", line 22: duplicate disk
record, previous on line 17
"/usr/local/etc/amanda/MonthlySet1/disklist", line 26: dumptype
custom(sa03:/dev/hdc1/tslibrary) already defined on line 17
amcheck: could not load disklist /usr/local/etc/amanda/MonthlySet1/disklist
Can anyone help me in determine what could be wrong with this config. I
changed the second sa03 entry to sa03.terra.terrasky.mu and I get no error
messages.
Thanx

files larger than tape
hello
I need to backup a 18G directory(/terrasky/tslibrary) which contains 12
subdirectories.
Currently, using the disklist example in the documentation for large files,
my disklist looks like this : -
#sa03 /terrasky/tslibrary/ {
# All directories that start with [h-z]
# user-tar
# include "./[h-z]*"
# } 1
sa03/terrasky/tslibrary/ {
# All directories that start with [a-g]
user-tar
include "./[a-g]*"
} 1
Since I do not have a tape changer, I insert the first tape and run amdump .
Then I manually edit the disklist file to backup the other files onto a
second tape. If the size of the data being backed up exceeds the tape
capacity of 12G, the disklist is modified again to get backup data of les
than 12 G to fiit on one tape.
I have the following queries: -
1. Instead of me calculating the backup data size, can't amanda do it. If
it exceeds the tape capacity, can't amanda break the data up , copy folders
up to 12 G on the first tape, request for the second tape and copy the rest
of the data to the second tape.
Pls note that this directory is being fully backed up weekly and monthly -
without any incremental backups being done. We want to minimise user
intervention during the backup.

madhvi

how to fit backup on >1 tape
Hello I have a18G filesystem that needs to be backed up and do not have a tape changer. I have tried the following :- runtapes 2 # number of tapes to be used in a single run of amdump tpchanger "chg-manual" # the tape-changer glue script tapedev "/dev/nst0" # the no-rewind tape device to be used changerfile "/usr/adm/amanda/WeeklySet1/changer" When I run amdump WeeklySet1, it asks me to load tapes repeatedly. 3 files were created in the log directory and are as follows :- changer-status-access, changer-status-clean, changer-status-slot with following contents : - changer-status-access :: 2 :: changer-status-clean :: 0 :: changer-status-slot :: 1 Since 2 tapes of 12G should be enough for the backup ( no hardware compression and using tar) , I am not sure what I'm doing wrong. can anyone help me with this config??? Thanx in advance Madhvi

Please note that the size of the backup image increased as well. b) From the client machine , I ran the following command :- rsh -n -l amanda backup.terrasky.mu /usr/local/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/st0 osama / | restore -iv -b 2 -f - and I could restore some files chosen at random. If I modify the command above as follows : - rsh -n -l amanda backup.terrasky.mu /usr/local/sbin/amrestore /dev/nst0 osama / the backup image is not stored in the current working directory. thanks in advance for comments/explanations.

Re: Fw: Error while running amcheck/amdump
The /dev/hda6 mountpoint is / I have added the mount point to the disklist file . The dumptype was set to tar and then dump. amcheck detected no errors on the client host. When amdump was run , a level 0 dump was done on /dev/hda6 ( as seen in /etc/dumpdates). If I put back hda6 in the disklist, amcheck gives me the same error reported below. Why can't /dev/hda6 be backed up ??? A manual dump of the latter on the client works.

Re: Error after installing/configuring amanda
Hello I added the /usr/local/sbin to the Path variable of user amanda. I can successfully execute the amanda commands. I ran amdump without running amlabel. I want to label the tape now- Running the command gives the following error [amanda@backup admin]$ amlabel -f DailySet1 DailySet10 rewinding amlabel: tape_rewind: tape open: /dev/nst0: Permission denied If I try to remove the tape from the tape database using the amrmtape command - i do not know the label that should be given . amrmtape -v DailySet1 How can I start from scratch using the same tape???
