zmanda windows client
I've been using the Zmanda Windows Client (ZWC) to back up my two Windows Clients. After several years of working just fine, one has stopped working. It is a Windows 7 laptop. The other is a Windows 8 VirtualBox VM that continues to work fine. The report error message is: planner: ERROR catwoman.jgcomp.com: Server validation Failed. Please register server with client. Registration on the client has had no effect. Nor has reinstallation of the dated ZWC software. amcheck gives the same error message. DNS is working on both client and amanda server. What other settings might be out of whack? Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie j...@jgomp.com 11226 South Shore Rd. (703) 787-0688 (H) Reston, VA 20190 (703) 935-6720 (C)
Incremental backup with Zmanda Windows Client
Hi,
After years of happy backups with the smbclient, I deceided to give ZWC
a try.
But I am frustrated because incremental backups seems not to work,
whatever the level, all the data are being pulled/
Here's a snipset of the reports of 6 days, while I was on leave, no one
using the PC:
olivier. c:/temp 1 13306536 12085577 90.8 36:10 6132.1 2:26 82777.9
olivier. c:/temp 1 13306536 12085581 90.8 58:01 3823.0 2:47 72368.7

olivier. c:/temp 1 13306536 12085576 90.8 49:44 4459.6 4:25 45605.9

olivier. c:/temp 0 13306535 12085590 90.8 49:04 4520.2 3:12 62945.8
And the backup type is defined as:
define dumptype zwc-normal {
comment Incremental dumpp of Zmanda Windows Client
index yes
auth bsdtcp
program DUMP
maxdumps 1
compress server best
priority high
allow-split true
}
It obviously has no skip-incr (as shown by the level 0 and 1 in the dump
reports).
Why is it always backuping the full directory?
Best regards,
Olivier
Script to chang ethe user for Zmanda Windows Client
Hi,
As explained
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Zmanda_Windows_Client#Running_ZWC_as_some_other_user
the Zmanda client for Windows installs with the default username
amandauser and this cannot be configured by an option.
That username must reflect the username that is running Amanda on the
server. That can be changed using a few Windows tools.
The script http://cs.ait.ac.th/~on/rename_amanda.vbs automatically
performs all the steps required to change Zmanda Windows Client user.
I have tested this script on Windows XP Pro SP3 (32 bits) and on Windows
7 Pro SP1 (32 bits).
To use the script:
Download the script in a temporary directory, then run the script with:
cscript //nologo rename_amanda.vbs username {/delete]
Where username is the new user name for ZWC and the option /delete
allows to completely remove the old user from the computer.
The script will leave 3 files in the directory, secedit_backup.sdb is an
important file: it is a backup of the system security before it was
modified by the script.
I am pretty sure this script will not work properly if some system users
(Administrator, etc.) have UTF8 names.
Best regards,
Olivier

Re: Zmanda Windows Client ZIP files
I have the same issue on the pkzip files. The latest version amanda 3.3.4 uses this as default on windows client. So it made me difficult to unzip the pkzip files... any suggestions ? Thanks. Regards. flooding2012
Re: Zmanda Windows Client ZIP files
After some further testing this morning and this afternoon, here is what I find: 1. I am able to unzip the files on our Amanda server using the unix 'unzip' utility, but there are random error: invalid compressed data to inflate errors. These do not appear to affect all files, but that is little consolation. Testing the archive with 'unzip -t foo.zip' shows that probably a majority of the files are OK, but many throw the same error just mentioned. 2. Moving the archive to a Win32 box I find that I can browse the archive using the built-in Windows zip functionality. I am also able to selectively extract various files and their contents seem to be completely intact as expected. However, attempting a full extract of the file results in an Unexpected end of file error. 3. Attempting to use 7zip to open as an archive results in Cannot open foo as an archive error. Testing the archive with 7zip results in the same error. It seems that there is a definite issue with ZWC. Its a bit much trouble to setup a test bed and hunt through prior versions of ZWC to discover if this is a regression and when it occurred, although I think it is as I have not noticed this problem when restoring files in the past from Win32 backups. Maybe Paddy or someone from Zmanda can jump in here and help scare up what is going on here. Kind Regards, Chris PS. I did find an old post regarding a similar issue[1]. However, the ZWC does compression client-side, so I doubt the server hardware has much to do with it unless one is unzipping on the server and it happens to have some hardware problem.

I had the same issue years ago. It was never resolved. Some answers on the forum said to use various zip programs, none of which worked. I just started rsyncing our one Windows box to a Linux machine, and backing up the data from there. It was definitely related to file size. I don't recall offhand what the limit was, but anything over it created an unrestoreable archive.

I'd like to add that the trial version of PKZip seemed to work fine when browsing or extracting individual files, but I have not tried extracting the entire contents of the archive. Are you using client compression? Yes, I was using client compression. Please try using PKzip on Windows to extract the archives. The Windows compressed folder may not be able to extract files from archives larger than 4GB. PKZip appears to work but it's the only ZIP program that works consistently. Since PKZip is not free/OSS software, I was trying to avoid buying one or more licenses just to be able to do Amanda restores. By the way, I just discovered that running zip -FFv on the zip file in Unix (i.e. the fixfix option) creates a new Zip file that is *somewhat* usable in Linux. I still get a number of errors during the operation, eg: zip warning: no end of stream entry found: Program Files (x86)/VideoLAN/VLC/lua/http/images/vlc16x16.png zip warning: rewinding and scanning for later entries zip warning: unexpected signature 50 4b 07 08 on disk 0 at 5944574923 and: Local ( 1 13290794279): copying: Windows/System32/zh-CN/sberes.dll.mui ... . fcopy: write error The new zip file can now be extracted with unzip but it still throws a number of errors such as: inflating: Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Acrobat 11.0/Acrobat/UICustomization/ENU/Custom04.aaui error: invalid compressed data to inflate So, it becomes more usable but not entirely so. I guess I have no alternative but to use PKZip? Has anyone found a workaround? Markus --- Markus A.

Re: Zmanda Windows Client ZIP files
Sent from my iPhone Amanda dump images have a 32 kB special amanda header in the beginning, followed by the actual backed-up data. This header contains, among other things, human-readable information about how to extract the dump. In order to extract the dump, this 32 kB header should be discarded from the dumpfile and the remainder fed to the specific extract tool. On Unix-like systems this is usually done with dd. I don't have much experience with such things on Windows, but something similar surely exists. Hi Toomas - amfetchdump strips the header for you so that's not the problem. When looking at the file, it starts with the PK magic bits, not with an Amanda header. Our server is Linux anyway, so dd wouldn't be an issues. Running the Linux fille command on the zip file also identifies it as a version 2 ZIP file. Essentially my problem is that only native pkzip (not free) can read the file but Linux unzip and 7Zip cannot read the file. Cheers, Markus

Hey Chris, Here is another link to people having problems with this: http://adsm.org//lists/html/Amanda-Users/2009-05/msg00098.html Given that Debian and Ubuntu package amanda with a backup user of backup instead of amandabackup, shouldn't there be a serverside bsdtcp option for controlling which username the server authenticates as to the client?

Zmanda Windows Client with dumpuser other than amandabackup
I have an Ubuntu server with the native Amanda package installed (via apt-get install amanda-common and amanda-server) - Amanda 2.6.1p1. This creates the Amanda backup user backup in the group backup. However, I need to back up a Windows client, so I have the Zmanda Windows Client installed (version 3.1.3), which uses the user amandabackup. When I run sudo -u backup amcheck MyConfig I get the following error: ERROR: amanda-client-xp: Unauthenticated user where amanda-client-xp is the Windows client (defined in /etc/hosts). When I create a user amandabackup in group disk on the server, change permissions for all relevant directories and executables to be owned by amandabackup, and change the dumpuser in my amanda.conf to amandabackup it all works. However, that causes a problem, because I want to be able to automate the creation of an Amanda server and do not want to have to change users and permissions, etc. Bottom line: Do I need the Amanda user on the server to be the same as the Amanda user on the Zmanda Windows Client (i.e. amandabackup)? I have the line client_username amandabackup in my amanda.conf, but that does not seem to help at all. I would appreciate any help!

What is your disklist config?

The disklist looks like:
host.math.utah.edu C:/Documents and Settings zwc-compress 1
The amanda.conf has (among other settings):
define dumptype global {
index yes
maxdumps 4
tape_splitsize 1 Gb
}
define dumptype zwc-compress {
global
auth bsdtcp
compress client fast
program DUMP
maxdumps 1
}
