3 dumpers idle : no-diskspace
A bit of simple arithmetic shows me that there is no room in the holding
disk. :-) Sorry,

I'm doing a test run with about 8 entries in my disklist and Amanda is only
running one dumper. When I run `amstatus' I see:
3 dumpers idle : no-diskspace

What does `no-diskspace' mean here? I seem to have free networ

Thanks for the quick reply.
With amanda 2.4.2 files that go to the holding disk first have a .tmp
appended to them. The file is then renamed to what it appears as in
the amdump file. What I currently do is :
while ($true) {
unless (-e $from) {
sleep ($nap);

Look for blinking lights on the drive is the first thing that pops to

Next, I'd get a ps listing of what was running, "ps -fu ".

Hi All,
We have been using amanda for years and are very happy with it. We
recently purchased a new machine whose only purpose was to be a backup
server. We purchased a lot of hard disk space with the hope of storing
a weeks worth of backups on the machine, as well a

Yup. And in case anyone can't "read between the lines" :-), it said:

Hello all,
I am considering to get tape drive "SONY TSL-A500", and wondering if amanda
supports it.

Erasing the tape won't help.
I am in the process of debugging my Amanda setup and wish to reuse the same
tape over and over. Short of using `mt erase' to completely erase the tape,
is there a way I can prevent Amanda from aborting because it thinks I'm
overwriting a tape from the backup set?

Ah, yes, this was the answer. I untarred the lvl 0 dump first, then the

Okay, I see. amrecover is trying to put the files back to baboquivari, the

You can use tar-1.13.18 with the patch from http://www.amanda.org/patches.html

The docs/INSTALL file says to use GNU tar 1.12 -- is there any reason why a
later version, such as 1.13, could not be used (with the provided patches)?
Ben
no, go to the top of your amanda.conf file, and change the "run as
operator" to "run as amanda".

Reduce tapecycle by one, so that Amanda will accept daily-1. You may
also want to mark daily-0 as no reuse with amadmin.

Hi,
I have six tapes in my tape cycle and according to amanda, tonight's
dumps should go to the tape "daily-0". However, exactly that tape
isn't available at the moment, and I don't want to wait with the
backup until I have access to that particular tape again. Can I
somehow tell amanda to skip t
