Amanda shouldn't stall. It should do the backup to holding disk and then, in the email, tell you that a tape error occurred and you need to run amflush.

Re: what to do if I put in the wrong tape
I do not recive an email, all amanda processes are still running and the tape is ejected.

One other possibility is that you are running amcheck, and it's kicking the tape out. > -Original Message- > From: John Rosendahl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 12:53 PM > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: what to do if I put in the wrong tape > > > I am using 2.4.3b3 and that is really not what happens, I can come up > with a few reasons for this > 1) I am using 2.4.3b3 and b means beta > 2) I am backing up files that are much larger than my holding > disks 40 > gigs fo files for 4 gigs of holding disk > 3) Could it be something with the tape changer, when ever I > screw up I > come to work to find that the tape has beed ejected. > Thanks for your help > -John > > Joshua Baker-LePain wrote: > > >On Mon, 29 Apr 2002 at 10:11am, John Rosendahl wrote > > > >>Is there a procedure that people use when they forget to replace the > >>tape/put in the wrong tape. > >>Amanda stalls when this happens, is there a way to get it going > >>again(with the right tape in of course). > >> > > > >Amanda shouldn't stall.

Normally Amanda writes none, some, or all of the backups to the holding disk (depending on its size and reserve setting) if the correct tape is unavailable, and then exits.

Re: what to do if I put in the wrong tape
I am using 2.4.3b3 and that is really not what happens, I can come up with a few reasons for this 1) I am using 2.4.3b3 and b means beta 2) I am backing up files that are much larger than my holding disks 40 gigs fo files for 4 gigs of holding disk 3) Could it be something with the tape changer, when ever I screw up I come to work to find that the tape has beed ejected.

what to do if I put in the wrong tape
Is there a procedure that people use when they forget to replace the tape/put in the wrong tape. Amanda stalls when this happens, is there a way to get it going again(with the right tape in of course).
