Re: misformatted output of "amadmin balance"
Greetings, We have been using Amanda for 7 years to backup 15 servers(AIX and SUN). It works perfectly. We asked to do backup encryption of one of the File Systems. Do we need to install a new package?. We use gpg encryption for other purpose. Ho to integrate it to Amanda?. Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Problems with AIX
Hi, We have recently added 6 AIX LPARs to the AMANDA configuration. We did not have a problem configuring Amanda. It may be your gcc version that is a problem. We have the following gcc installed.

Target: powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0 Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld --disa ble-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --prefix=/opt/freeware --enable-threads --enabl e-version-specific-runtime-libs --host=powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0 Thread model: aix gcc version 4.0.0 We used the following command to configure configure --with-user=root --with-group=backup --with-client --disable-shared --with-gnutar-list Mangala >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/21/07 6:29 PM >>> Hello, Does anybody run Amanda on AIX 5.2 ? I try different binary packages, I compile the 2.5.1p3 sources, but the result is always the same : segmentation fault. I am not an AIX guru, so I have no idea about the problem : all amanda modules I try crashed immediately, is it a lib problem ?

Re: backing up windows PCs using smb client
Greetings Currently, we are backing up 6 unix servers using amanda. We would like to backup our Windows PCs also and were able to use AMANDA to backup C and D drives etc... using smbclient. One of our windows experts pointed out that backing up C and D drives is not enough and we also need to backup windows registry to be able perform a successful restore. When C drive is backed up using smbclient, are we also backing up the registry?. If not how to do this?. I really appreciate any suggestions. Thank You, Mangala Gunadasa Montefiore Medical Center/EHIT
Re: Duration Of Backup
Greetings We have been using amanda for many years. Our capacity had grown and currently we are backing up 60 file systems across 12 servers. The backup takes 9hrs to finish. We have tried to make it more efficient by changing the parameters "interface", and "net usage" of the amanda.conf and did not succeed( Probably those parameters do not matter). We would like to perform Full backup every Day to a SDLT Tape drive. We will be adding 2 IBM P570's and we are concerned about the duration of the backup. Can we find how the big sites manage this type of situation?. I appreciate any comments on this subject. Thank You, Mangala Gunadasa EHIT/Montefiore Medical Center

Re: amrecover hanging
Greetings, I have been using amanda to backup 4 servers . I was able to use Amrecover to restore files in the past. But recently, amrecover hangs.

Re: Amverify reporting wrong dates.
Greetings, When I run amverify, I get a report with wrong dates. Part of the report has the correct date and the other part has the last month's date. I run full backup daily to single DLT tape . Following is the report I received for today. The backup runs @1AM every day and finishes around 4AM. But if I mount the tape now and do the amverify, I get the perfect report with the correct date. Any ideas to solve that puzzle is appreciated.

Re: multiple IP addresses, same host
Hi, In our site, we have an application which is allocated an IP address. The host where the application resides has a different IP address. Both the application and the systems files are backed up. I am getting the following message on the Amanda log file. prod( IP 10.3.13.57) - is the hostname/address for the application : The amcheck does not report any problems. prod /dg/dghome lev 0 FAILED [Request to prod timed out.] The hostname for that server is the etest and the file systems on that server is backed up without any problems. Can anybody point out what I am doing wrong?. Thank You. Mangala Gunadasa

Re: Amanda backup
Hi everybody, I am backing up 3 systems using amanda. My /etc/dumpdates on 3 systems ( total 12 files)shows that al the files were backed up. But the amverify shows less file systems than what /etc/dumpdates indicate( only 4 files). I'd appreciate if anybody can tell what is happening. Thanks,
amanda.conf/ full backup
How can I do a full dump on all file systems, everyday?. currently I use the
>following in the amanda.conf file. But it does not seem to be working.
define dumptype global {
Command 'define' not recognized.
comment "Global definitions"
Command 'comment' not recognized.
# This is quite useful for setting global parameters, so you don't have
# to type them everywhere. All dumptype definitions in this sample file
# do include these definitions, either directly or indirectly.
# There's nothing special about the name `global'; if you create any
# dumptype that does not contain the word `global' or the name of any
# other dumptype that contains it, these definitions won't apply.
# Note that these definitions may be overridden in other
# dumptypes, if the redefinitions appear *after* the `global'
# dumptype name.
# You may want to use this for globally enabling or disabling
# indexing, recording, etc. Some examples:
index yes
dumpcycle 0
record no
}
Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?.
Thanks.
