Hi all:
I am trying to learn how to restore a backup with amanda (v2.4.2p2). I

Hi,
the steps to do are (i think, correct me someone if I'm wrong)
1.) have a rescue-disk/cd with a minimal linux-system that supports your
network-hardware, and the amanda-client utilities needed for
restore.
2.) boot with this medium,
3.) configure your networkinterface to be able to
I use the Super Rescue CD to do amanda restores. It's basically a
Redhat 7.0 installation
on a single CD. It includes the normal Amanda tools and ssh. You just
boot up the system with
the CD, get the networking going, and then use SSH and Amrestore to
bring the data over from

Hi,
I'm sorry for this slightly OT question.
As in subject, I've a SONY DDS2 tape drive with 90m DDS tapes which
behaves in a very strange way. I've loaded a tape and issued:
tar cvf /dev/nst0 /stuff
tar doesn't complains.
After, I rewind the tape, extract the archive and verified that data

In addition to what Bernhard suggested, what's in amindexd*debug on
mail.daml.org (in /tmp/amanda)?

Hi,
Amanda's been running smoothly for months now. It uses 6 tapes to back up
our network.
I was thinking it's about time to take a snapshot of the network, and
preserve the current 6 tapes, and start using a new set of 6. The old ones
can be an off-site backup.
Here's what I was thinking of

Hello,
Do you run amanda on Linux or Solaris? I am having a problem using

Just a suggestion, having never seen a SDT-5000, can you do a status just
after you've written it, and see what density code it thinks it is? You
might need to set the density (mt setdensity on Linux) before you can
read the tape(?!?)

Thanks for your reply. We have done some more investigation and have
determined that the problem is with sendbackup. It does ufsdump | sed |
ufsrestore. When this starts it takes the CPU to 100% and stays there. The
performance monitoring soon quits updating. Log messages indicate that

Hi everyone! I am a new Amanda user and am trying to get it setup and
working. I am setting up my backup machine which is configured as follows:
K6-3 500Mhz w/256Mb of Ram
2 SCSI Hard Drives - 8Gb as a boot disk and a 34.6Gb as a
backup/data disk
iWill SIDE-2936UW-E SCSI
Is it me or is amanda a little short on documentation? What is the best
source to get it up and running?

In your amanda.conf file, change tapedev to the non-rewinding device,
/dev/nst0:
tapedev /dev/nst0

There is actually a really good write-up online or you can purchase the
O'Reilly Book Unix Backup Recover. It was enough for me to at least get
started...

I have progressed from tape labeling to amcheck. At
the moment I am using root
as a backup user for testing just to get it right.
I have done the entries for services
and xinetd.conf and restart xinetd. Now when I run
amcheck I get the following error.
