What works for you? ;) Checked a working vtape-setup of one of my customers right now (got a valid report from that system an hour ago): It should be file:/ (one slash) as mentioned in the HOWTO. "file:" chooses the driver (would have to browse the docs for the spot where this is described in detail), the part after the ":" gives the directory in this case. Greets, Stefan -- Stefan G.

RE: newbie ? - tapeless operation -> amlabel error
Hi, Jeanna,
The setting I mentioned, pointing tapedev at the "slots" directory on
disk, is what I use for writing to virtual tapes, i.e. writing to disk.
Did you notice that the HOWTO you are using is dated Nov 2001? A lot has
changed since then. Try the HOWTO in the wiki at:
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Test_environment_with_virtual_tapes
<http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Test_environment_with_virtual_tapes>
I also referred to other pages on the wiki:
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/File_driver
<http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/File_driver>
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Changers
<http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Changers>
And when I was creating many slots this afternoon, I recorded the
following notes (copied from the wiki I use internally at work). Lots of
this is specific to my configuration, like the user names. Note that the
phrase `seq 1 50` and similar are enclosed in back-quotes and all of
this was done in the bash shell:
Mount the new disk on /mnt/Amanda/Set2 where 2 is the number for the
backup disk, could be 3 for instance
* As root, create vtapes folder on the backup disk, set owner
amandabackup user, group disk, not readable or executable by "other"
1. mkdir vtapes
2. chown amandabackup:disk vtapes
3. chmod 750 vtapes
* Change to the amandabackup user.
* Create a DailySet2 folder inside vtapes
* Create slots inside vtapes/DailySet2
* for i in `seq 1 50`; do mkdir slot$i; done
* Put it "online" by creating the required data symlink
* ln -s slot1 data
* Check it - this command should return ONLINE
* ammt -f file:/mnt/Amanda/Set2/vtapes/DailySet2/slots/ status
* Label the tapes - the changer must be "online" first
* for i in `seq 1 9`; do amlabel DailySet2 DailySet2-0${i}; done
* for i in `seq 10 50`; do amlabel DailySet2 DailySet2-${i}; done
* Check it's OK
* amcheck DailySet2

Thanks so much for the reply!
I can change that parameter value, however, in the 'HOWTO'
I was following, it tells me to comment out that specific
parameter so I don't think that will help:
-
/etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf
-
# These are the options that differ from
examples/amanda.conf
dumpcycle 14 days
tapecycle 14
#runspercycle # defaults to 1 per day
runtapes 1
tpchanger "chg-multi"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/DailySet1/changer.conf"
# Comment out tapedev and changerdev
Thanks for the input, though - I'll make sure the
double-check the value so when I do get ready to write it
to tape, the value is correct!
