I know very little about this, but the one thing that popped to mind is
whether an MS NFS server would give a tar running as root on a client (to
NFS) enough access to get to everything. The normal action is to convert
all root requests

It depends on what you mean by "duplicate". If you mean "write a second
tape at the same time as the first with exactly the same data", that's
not available at the moment but will be easy to do with some code now
in the sources. Someone just ne

This says that when you ran ./configure for daphne.webcom.de, GNU tar
was not in the path (or it was a different path). You need to rerun
./configure (do a "make distclean" first) then rebuild/reinstall Amanda.

There is a development branch of the latest 2.4.2 release that supports

Check /tmp/amanda/ for log files of the tar attempt. Specifically look at

Basically what you do (or
"exclude (list)" only works with GNUTAR. When we don't want backup one
subdirectory, for example, we want to back up /chroot partition, but not
/chroot/ftp/. we need to set :
---
program "GNUTAR" #this is only for this partition, others are DUMP
exclude "/chroot/ftp"
-
is this right?
--wei
Can it be done ?
Can amanda use who tape devices to perform a single backup?
What can I expect of it?
Where can I find Info ?
