Re: backup reiser filesystem
>hello, >how may I backup reiser filesystem, with amanda ? On my server, I have >ext2fs and reiser filesystem >thanks You can backup reiser filesystems with tar. If you make a always-full backup with reiserfs, it will fail. because the dumper program, does not use reiserfs. you must run a root-tar backup. best regards roshan

Re: amanda cron job doesn't start?
Hi, i think you must give the full path of the programs like: 0 18 * * 1-5 /usr/local/sbin/amcheck merten and make two entries one with amdump and another for amcheck. look for a mail from crontab, there must be the error Also viel spass noch/Good luck Roshan

This mail says that driver: WARNING: directory /backup/20001130 is not
writable. Can i get automatically group-access, not only user-access? Where can
i configure the permissions given by running amdump???
My Amanda user is amanda and the group is backup. I have done the configuration
with --with-user=amanda --with-group=backup. I changed the program files to:
