This says dumper on the server last heard from sendbackup on the client
30 minutes ago and gave up waiting. This (probably) has nothing to do
with your tapes or drive and possibly nothing to do with the size of the
file system being backed up unles

The Amanda restore programs (amrestore and amrecover) do not (yet) know
about tape changers, so you have to use some other method (e.g. amtape)
to get the tape mounted "by hand" before using them.

That's usually the wrong question. Amanda (in general) interfaces
with other software that knows how to move the robot. Do you have that
software (sometimes called mtx, or chio, but

They already do. What does that have to do with not repositioning the
tape at all?

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have simple instructions on how to perform a restore with

It has. You can bu

Taper basically does the same thing w.r.t. the "right" tape, so amcheck
is not really an issue (in fact it's a problem because Amanda looses
control again b
Hello,
we have a Compaq SSL 2020. We want to use it with amanda. Does Amanda
support the Libraries of Compaq SSL 2020?

I proposed something called "autoflush" a few weeks ago. Maybe this
can be folded in. I'l

Nothing. It's already there. Just leave the tape out of the drive and
make as many runs as you want into the holding disk. At your convenience,
run "amflush" and select "all" instead of a specific holding area
>./configure --with-name=amanda
I think you mean --with-user, not --with-name.
Aside from that and the good notes from Christopher Wargaski, you should
be on your way. Don't forget to do all the inetd things on the client
so amandad can be started by the server.

no tapetype (at least non official)
but the following works for me
define tapetype LTO
I have installed this on other clients in the past. Linux/FreeBSD/etc but
never seen this error come up.
I have read old e-mails and people said things like they would roll their
logs first but why has this never come up before?

What would it take to have some sort of config option that did exactly
that? I have a 15/30DLT ... I have a 15gig holding disk ... when holding
disk is full, dump it all to tape and then backup to the holding disk
again ... then, your tapes would always be full and you don't have to
worry about
Happy Wednesday,
Does someone have a tapetype entry for the HP LTO Ultrium device that
they would be willing to post?
It is greatly appreciated.

You should really (!) buy at least a second one.

That's a bad version of tar. Anything in the 1.13 range before .17
(or .19) is probably broken, as has been mentioned on this list dozens
of times.

Hi,
I successfully did a bare metal restore of my laptop disk, but there
were a few things I do not
understand:
1. We use tar for our backup since our linux shop uses reiserfs. Upon
booting the laptop (IBM
Thinkpad 600) from a CDROM, the restore command used was:
ssh -l amanda 192.168.1.99
