Before you try working with amdump, you should use amcheck. It does
a better job of diagnosing problems. Also, if it's not happy, you

This particular one is not a FAQ, yet. Because tapeio is not in
common use, yet. The 2 GB file limit question is a FAQ when asked
in regard to holding disk files and in regard to amrestore, and each
situation has a somewhat different answer. There is a config option
that works around the probl

This probably falls under the "why can't I split my backups across

This message means GNU tar could not be found (maybe it was not installed
yet) when ./configure was run for Amanda. Now that you have GNU tar
available, remove config.cache (or "make distclean") and start the Amanda
build over again.

Howdy - I've been running v2.4.2p2 with great results for Solaris

In your dd tests you always rewind the tape first. Did you rewind the
tape before doing the amrecover? Amidxtaped does not rewind on the off
chance you've pre-positioned the tape to the appropriate image.

If you're using 2.4.2p2, then it's not running properly, and I'd be
very suspicious of the drive or the kernel driver.

I´m using the latest release, so the newest tapetype is used.
Unfortunately the mailing list archive is temporarily unavailable, and the
ftp archive is out of date.
Generally, the drive is a rather cheap drive, but as far as I read it
shouldn´t be so bad.
Do you have an idea, whether the long t

Ummm, I'm guessing you've probably also not used tapes with Unix much,
either :-).
Tapes do not need to be formatted like disks, i.e. there is nothing like
mkfs/newfs involved. Also

That's the right guess. Amcheck (actually, selfcheck) does not run as
root so cannot get there. The actual backup will run GNU tar as root
(under runtar) and so should be OK.
>I?m preparing to use amanda ...
What version? The tapetype program with 2.4.2* is much better than the
one with 2.4.1*. And if you're just starting with Amanda, you should
be starting with the latest release (2.4.2p2).
