Hi all,
I found out, that a reboot of the amandaserver causes the night following backup to
fail,
because /tmp is emptied by the system after wakeup.
Is there a configuration possible to change the defautl /tmp/amanda to a more
permanent place?

Hi:
I have this configuration:
1. One RH 7.1 Linux server, with Oracle & Amanda. Amanda copies into an
HP SCSI streamer 24GB/48GB. Say it A.
2. Another RH 7.1 Linux server, who is file server (Samba) & mailer. Say
it B.

Hi,
has anyone been able to make arkc recognise tape names with spaces?
e.g. 'INCR - 2' is a valid tape name in the gui and from the 'arkc -tape
-list' command
but:
# arkc -tape -statistics -D name=INCR - 2
# arkc -tape -statistics -D name='INCR - 2'
# arkc -tape -statistics -D name="INCR - 2"
I'm doing 4 W2K partitions (single client) to a Solaris
host using Samba shares.
Generally all 4 work fine, but too frequently the largest
partition, "C", fails with "smbclient received signal 13".
A broken pipe, remote end terminated early I guess.
This happens on both full and incremental.

That depends on how you backed it up.
Look at the header on the tape:
1. Load the tape on your tape drive
2. Skip the first file set (amanda label) using: mt -f fsf 1
3. Run: dd if= bs=32k
On one of my tapes that shows:
AMANDA: FILE 20020131 host1 /fs2 lev 0 comp N program /usr/sbin/ufsdump

First I want to say "thanks" to the folks contributing to this thread.
I'll be the first to admit the Amanda documentation could use more work
(of course, I'd be the first to say that about almost *any* software :-).
I'm watching the comments go by and will try to incorporate as much
as possible.
I'm fairly new to amanda - here's what I'm trying to accomplish and I'd
like to know if Amanda can do this. I can't find too much about this
online so hence my post.

You'll want amanda with tapeio support. That's either the tapeio branch
out of CVS or 2.4.3b2 (note that's a beta version). This treats files on
disk just like t

In general I agree, however there are reasons it's this way
I think I see what's happening. Driver (the program that runs things in
Amanda) first tells taper (the tape management piece) to get started, then
while that is going on, it does the planner (estimates) steps. It starts
taper early to give it time to deal with robots, human operators, etc.

There are several ways. One is to run amtoc after each amdump/amflush
and keep the tape table of contents files around.
Another is "amadmin info ". That will only help
for the most recent dump.
And there is "amadmin find "
