More than one year ago I moved from Linux to Free/PC-BSD-9.0 (it was not released yet), but after some time returned back to Linux and to Bacula since I could not any longer compile Amanda - see my comments: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29616 Now I did try 9.1RC1 and it is huge improvement for the desktop and I'm going to move very soon to PC-BSD and back to Amanda. However, this time, on Linux my working version is 3.3.1, while I see that FreeBSD ports holds amanda-3.3.2 and wonder if I can expect some issues in migration? Am I find if I simply copy my Linux /var/amanda directories considering the output below? [amanda@atmarama ~]$ amgetconf hi8 logdir /var/amanda/state/log/hi8 I'm attaching output of /var/amanda/ tree to this message. Any hint for smooth migration?

It helped :-) although it's strange that minor release breaks compatibility. However, it also solves minor problem with my Linux backup which I've on external USB disk. Can I assume that those configs which cannot be found with: amadmin CONF find like: Warning: no log files found for tape a-slides written 2011-03-10 06:32:21 have to be re-done? I've followed wiki and put: record no for those configs since I need to backup those slides/movies for archive and just from time to time (when working on some material) restore some parts of it. Do you still recommend to use 'record=no' next time when I'll have to perform backup again?

Jean-Louis Gour-Gadadhara Dasa wrote: Hello! Few days ago I migrated from (Arch)Linux to (Free)PC-BSD and before that I did complete backup to tapes as well as on the external HD of my Linux OS along with user data. Just before that, I also, while still on Linux, migrated from Bacula to Amanda my whole multimedia collection (scanned 35mm positives as well as hi-8 vhs movies). I tested amrecover procedure as well as did amcheckdump and everything was fine. Today I've installed amanda-server on my Free/PC BSD desktop (from the ports), but not matter what I do, when i attempt to do amrecover I get: No index records for disk for specified date If date correct, notify system administrator Let me add that I copied my Amanda config/state/log files from Linux to BSD. At first I re-created the same Linux setup on FreeBSD, but then was hinted on #amanda to check whether both configuration match upon which I discovered that on FreeBSD Amanda expects state/log files at /usr/local/var/amanda. However, despite of cp-ing Linux config to the new location, I get the same error. Now I wonder whether the solution might be to try to build Amanda in a way to use same location for config files as on LInux (/var/amanda) or it should not matter? What might be wrong? I am not happy if the only solution would be to restore my multi-tape dumps back to HD and then doing backup again? Any hint?
