Amanda does not determine what backup level it's going to use until it's
finished estimating during the amdump process, which is handled by
amanda's magic balancing algorithms. Then, the way to see the current
level is by using amstatus. The balance shown here is indicative of a
nine-day old con
Is there a command line utlity that can verify the current back up
level (0,1,2,3,4,5) or the
next level amdump will run?
thanks.

A question, tangentially related to an earlier one of mine.
I want to do an occasional run of amanda with only full backups, which
should be independent of the normal cycle. (It's for offsite storage.)
I've set up an amanda configuration for it. I already know that the

I just figured out the problem. I removed the picker problem from
chg-chio, but I didn't remove the STDERR problem. I just removed the
STDERR problem, and everything is working fine.

I am having a problem with the settings for a HP C1557A Surestore 24x6
tape changer with amanda 2.4.1p1 and FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE. The driver is
working properly, but I don't think I have the setting for the drive
correct. amcheck gives the following error:

Thanks.
So the index area is being created properly and the files are being
created, they are just empty (which is what you said, but I wasn't clear
about the details).
It might be that the index generation on th

FYI, I back up about 1/3 that many clients, but 3-4 times that much data.
I.e. Amanda works fine in large environments.

Hello, Amanda users -
Our site is growing quite disenchanted with our current backup solution,
and I am currently evaluating Amanda as a possible alternative. It
seems to have been designed with the right client/server attitude that
we are looking for in order to backup our huge site (300 client
I'm not sure what the point of posting the whole amdump.1 file was,
but since you did, here's the remainder of the analysis:
$ grep 'got result' amdump.1
got result for host admin1.corp.walid.com disk sda2: 0 -> 304817K, 1 -> 303921K, 2
-> 303881K
...
got result for host admin1.corp.wali
no i did not set a tape up for this run. i am actually limited to the
amount of tapes i have.
my goal is to get 1 full dump and a weeks worth of incremental to
write to the holding disk then amflush them all to tape.
thanks for the response.

It is probably a development snapshot or a random check-out of the CVS
tree.

Hi All,
I'm rather new to amanda and have recently inherited some systems
w/ a rather strange version/branch of amanda, version 2.5.0. I
can't seem to find a 2.5.0 release anywhere and am not sure where
this could have come from... it also seems to have some incompatibilities
w/ 2.4.2b2.

Hi everybody:
I sent a message before to explain my problem. I have been using
amanda since few months ago for five machines, two of them are inside
the firewall and the rest are outside. I have a sonicwall firewall so
I don't have to configure anything on linux or something like that,
