amanda trying to access slots beyond amanda.conf settings...

2001-05-07 Thread Craig Dewick
Hi, I've just come across a strange problem. I'm using an ADIC 1200D DAT autochanger, and I have data tapes in the first 10 slots of the 12-slot magazine, with the 11th empty (because I don't have any more data tapes!), and the 12th slot contains a cleaning tape. I am using the 'stctl' package

FYI, I have run into this problem as well. In my case it was when my holding disk was actually just a subdirectory. It just so happened to be on the same partition as /tmp. So even though nothing else of significance was running, Amanda was getting into a fight with herself. John R. Jackson

Amrecover failure.

2001-05-07 Thread milesfj
Hello, I was wondering if anyone had ran into any troubles with amrecover before. I can backup files fine but when I try to run amrecover, then it says that amanda access is not allowed. It seems like if amanda wasn't allowed then I wouldn't be able to backup the files on the server.
