Hi,
your drive is a DDS-2 tapedrive,
and the tapetype depends on the length of your tape's.
you'll have to create your own tapetype.
for 120meter tapes it has a capacity of aprox 4 GB (i use 3800Mb) of
data
for 90meter tapes i use 1900 Mb and
for 60meter tapes i use 950 Mb.
and the device to

Hi,
first:
your amanda.conf looks ok for testing.
later you should increase tapecycle to a value at least
one tape larger then runspercycle. Imagine you are doing
a backup to your single tape, and the disk crashes while
writing the tape. as result you won't bve able to get your
data back,
Hi There,
I'm trying to put together a procedure to recover data if the amanda
server goes down. Is there a recipe for doing this? I'm mainly
interested in reading amanda tapes without amanda.
Thanks

I have amanda running on a RedHat 7 server and it is now backing up

Hi Bill,
If I understand your situation you want to back up the samba server?
I think you'd be better of installing a amanda client on that samba server
and backing up like that. I think the purpose of using samba and
smbclient is to back up windows shares. There is a doc called SAMBA it
talks
Just a couple additions to David's reply:
GNUPlot is only needed if you want to use amplot, which graphs resources
used during a backup run so you can see what's taking so long. (Among other
things.)
You will need either the latest version of tar or the latest version of
dump.
For all the

When AMANDA looks at your tape hardware, she needs to 'see' two separate
devices: one is the tape drive, where tapes are read and written. Usually
only one tape can be in the drive at a time. The rest of the hardware that
holds and moves tapes is a tape changer. (The exception is some gravity-fed

Hi,
Yesterday something went wrong with the backup so when our scheduled
"amcheck" cronjob ran today, it correctly noted:
WARNING: skipping tape test because amdump or amflush seem to be running;
WARNING: if they are not, you must run amcleanup.

It is a Sony DDS3 and I have put 7 data tapes and 1 cleaning tape in it.
When I run amcheck I get the following message

Silly question -- did you run amlabel on these tapes? You have to do
that before you can use Amanda.
but if

Hi,
My backups appear to run fine (all filesystems were dumped and taped),
however, I always get the following prior to my Statistics:

The answer to this may be simpler than I think. The DDS3 tapes for the
amanda system I inherited have been in use for more than a year, so I
figured it was time to replace them. The question is exactly how do I do
that? I have a tapecycle of 20, a dumpcycle of 2 weeks and a runspercycle

You should be able to read it off by catting /dev/st0 or similar; One
question I'd like to add is, is it possible to store the updated indexes on
the tape - I ask because in case of disaster, you'd ideally want to be able
to know that you need tapes 5,6,7 and no others to bring your system back
Chris,
Following that line of thinking, you would almost want to append the indexes
to the end of the tape. This is a bad idea, mainly because of the word
'append', which means different things to different drives and OSes, to put
it nicely.
If you can't append, you could write your indexes
... Can these indexes be written to tape as well ...
That's a part of the taper rewrite work to be done. It will provide
for a "File-1" that is written at the start of each tape and a "File-N"
that is written at the end of each tape. What you put in them will be
up to you, but the Amanda
