Hello,
I got a question about the tapelist.
If I look inti the file call tapelist
This is what I have :
20010228 Backup00 reuse
20010212 DailySet104 reuse
20010212 DailySet103 reuse
20010209 DailySet102 reuse
20010208 DailySet101 reuse
0 Backup52 reuse
0 Backup51 reuse
0 Backup42 reuse
0
Thanks a lot for your explanation. One more question , when I do amcheck
and no error are reported, can I trust it 100 % that the backup will work
?
regards

Well, there's always Murphy's law :-)
If something breaks after amcheck completes, the backup may fail on
the broken host. Also, some host

amcheck doesn't, by default, try to write to the tape. It just reads the
label. If, for example, the write-protect tab is set on today's tape,

We would like to change it to FULL backups 5 days a week.
How would we do this?

Hello,
I have a question related to restoring without amanda.
According to the docs, the method is just :
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
dd if=/dev/nst0 bs=32 skip=1 | tar xv -
but when I use the tar (yes, it's gtar, really) it complains
that the file is not a valid archive. I can restore files using

You skipped a step. You have to position the tape with "mt fsf" to the
proper file

Well, how many runs do you think you can get done in zero days? :-)
Just leave it unset. It won't matter.

so I moved tape1_131 to the bottom, expecting amanda to look for
tape1_131. It wasn't a big deal but when I ran amflush(the previous
night's had failed) the message was that it expected tape1_132, but it
still ran. So how did it know to expect tape1_132?
The primary key is the date string,
Why doesn't Amanda use the following portable, non-destructive write test:
read label; amlabel -f config label
How do you figure this is non-destructive? It completely clobbers all
access to data beyond the label. What if there was some problem and
amcheck was happy with the tape but you

You have to know if the image is compressed or not and insert the
appropriate uncompress command in the pipeline (or, as a special case,
use the GNU tar 'z' option, which does that for you).

Ach!! I am close, I can feel it... I was playing around waiting
for replies, and I did the following:
