Hi!
I use amanda on a solaris 7 box with a DTL drive (20 GB)
attached. My dumpcyle is 4 weeks with 20 runs per cycle.
Because the size of one incremental backup is only
between 2-4 GB I don't want to change the tape each day.
Fortunately, I have a 30GB harddisk available for use as
holding di
I have a 70GB disk which I don't want to devote a whole DLT to. I
really need to backup individual partitions on the disk. We are
running amanda on Solaris 7 and have been using dump to do our
backups. I believe to get round this problem I could use tar but I've
heard there can be problems wit
I can't get the amanda interface to samba working. No matter what I try

Well, after those checks, the pointer is at tape 3, how can I tell amanda

I use an Intel 1 gig fiber network card in my server.
On occasion the network card will lose the ability to communicate with the

massive amounts of errors, which lead my server to have APIC errors on
both CPU's and finally a

Apologies if this has been asked before. I've searched google and the list
archives and have not found an answer that works for me.
On a SuSE 7.3 box, amcheck is working fine when I run inetd, but is failing
when I run xinetd. I'm getting everybody's favorite error: selfcheck request
timed out.

If you don't wish to preserve that data you could remove the tapelist
fileswhich would be recreated during backup

Hello again,
I just set up a couple of Red Hat clients on my amanda server (with the help
of this list). However, I found this in my reports from the previous night.

this something I need be worried about? Or something that will clear up on
the next dump?

Ahh, the tar vs dump wars again.
Though I'm quite firmly entrenced in one camp, at least for the
systems I administer at the moment, it seems plain that there
is no perfect solution. dump and tar each come with tradeoffs.
YMMV. Let The Sysadmin Consider Local Needs Carefully Then

Hello,
I am looking at the information on setting up amanda to use gpg. The
document that I am looking at, http://security.uchicago.edu/tools/gpg-amanda/

Before I get into this I must ask if amanda now has any native support for
gpg?

It didn't change the outcome if I set the user to amanda or the group =
