Dear sir,
I am using the amdump to do the backup.
But, in my /home directory, the size is about 3 Gi and
I would like to backup them into two part:Part(a): /home/a to k
Part(b): /home/l to z
How can I do this in my disklist file?
Yours,
Richard Ao
Dear Alexandre,
Thanks for your email. I have found out that you are right to the type
setting in amanda.conf. I have not set
tapedev "/dev/nst0"
before. Now, it can be labelled.
Yours,

What is the tape device configured in DailySet1/amanda.conf?

The alternative is to do what my local LUG does would be to add:

Just a little pet peeve I would like to ask about.
Would it be possable to put an [amanda-users] in the subject of everything
sent to the mailing list? I know that mailman is capable of this but I am
not shure of the capabilitys of majordomo.

Have you read the files in the docs directory?
And "the chapter" referenced on the web site? (www.amanda.org)
I'd suggest starting with these.

I'm in the last stage of testing a script I wrote to use a Scalar 100 with

I plan to post it to amanda-users tomorrow (need to comment some things better,

In the mean time, can you use the 'mtx status' program (ver. 1.
Help,
Are there any good instructions on how to install, and restore using

I am trying to come up with a procedure to:
1) detect what tape the needed backup is on.
2) mount the tape

Because planner needs it to decide how much to do before taper will
find it. It needs to be on the server in someplace like tapelist or
the curinfo database.

That's my understanding. I think 1.13.19 has some performance
improvements and an obscure bug fix, but for what you're seeing I
don't think they apply (I think you're seeing a hang, not a performance
problem).

Just in case no one has noticed yet, FAQ-O-Matic is currently broken.
Thus...
I just got a SDX-300C (35GB native AIT-1) drive for archival dumps. Does
anybody have any experience with these regarding a realistic guesstimate
of hardware compressed capacity? Tapetype?
Also, I'm running RedHat6.2

No, that's a symptom. It says the other side of the connection (dumper
on the server side) went away, which we knew.

First, quickly grab the amandad*debug file for this run. With luck,

IMHO, on BSD, the culturally right way to set up AMANDA is to conform
to the BSD Way as much as possible. This means:
use dump(8). On FreeBSD 4.2 and NetBSD 1.5, /sbin/dump is sgid tty,
but not suid:
