How can we configure AMANDA to take backup of raw filesystems that are
used for storing INFORMIX / ORACLE databases..?
If dump (ufsdump) can back-up this, Amanda can, if not, you'll have to
find a work-around.
Amanda is just a super meta caller for dump (or tar, or other).

Hi there,
We are new site using Amanda as backup solution. Most backup is running fine. However,
I found that Amanda can't perform backup on a remote host's directory. Firewall is
present between the client and amanda server. But we already opened a full hole for
amanda traffic.
Following is

Two questions about this part of the file. First, was the line really
split like above, or is that just an artifac of you getting the data
into the E-mail?
No, dosn't split.

This might be a question better suited for sunmanagers, but I'll try it
here.
I'm running Solaris 2.7 on an E450, with a DDS-3 changer. amanda's been
calling my tape drive by /dev/rmt/0n, which is the OS default.
DUMP cannot take the backup of raw filesystems, but DD can.br

Can you please tell me how we can make AMANDA use DD to take the backup?br
First turn off HTML encoding when you send email
Then you could trick Amanda and use a Gnu tar wrapper.
1) you make a wrapper Shell Script
2) You build
All,
I have a weird(!) problem:
The message during amcheck was:

I checked the archives and found a reasonable number of answers:

Hello John,
Thanks for your prompt help!
Everything seems to work great. One thing remains though. I find it
strange that I get this line in the backup report:
###
These dumps were to tapes Monthly-03, Monthly-04.
The next 2 tapes
I installed AMANDA as a client on a machine only I can't use /usr as it
has no space. I've chosen just to put it in / (/amanda), but the
'dailies' config is being looked for in /usr/local/etc/amanda/dailies
I don't understand. The clients know nothing about configurations.
What, exactly, did
The next tapes in the tapelist file clearly indicate the sequence of empty
tapes:
...
Why is it not asking for Montly-05 and Monthly-06 for the next backup?
What is tapecycle set to in amanda.conf? If it's bigger than 12
(the number of tapelist entries), that would explain why Amanda thinks

Now I tried (as root) to throw everything I could at that process to kill it,
I even RESTARTED xinetd with NO amanda options, killed every shell, killed
X (not that this matters as PPID of selfcheck is 1, so init). All I had
running was ONE shell and my normal deamons (httpd,sendmail,squid etc).

Hello all.
I am looking for some clarification of the functions of the tape changer
script.
The TAPE.CHANGER file says:
The tape changer program must support the following commands:

Does this mean to move the
If I use another Linux machine, instead of local host - I get the
following from Amcheck. It looks like the same problem, but why would
the connection be refused on Linux but not Irix?

*Light bulb goes from totally dark to a dim luminescence*
I ran amcheck from the client side (I had installed it without the
--without-server tag). I guess one doesn't use AMANDA server-side
programs on the client when it's supposed to be a client eh? :)
Doh.
Thanks!

Hi All,
I am very new to this. So if the question I ask has been answered before,
please bare with me and point me to the right direction.
My problem is a strange dump error which seemed to occur more and more
often. I think I know what the problem is but not know how to fix
Hi there,
I found some debug message on the client sugar. Please help me to check.
Please don't mind that I masked the IP address of backup server.

Hi there,
I had 2 questions related to our new amanda setup.
1) How can I use gtar to backup directories with symbolic links ? For example, in
directory A, there are 3 symbolic links pointing to C, D, E directories. Is it
possible to backup those files in C, D, E?
Any special patches need to
