chg-manual problems after OS upgrade

Hello! Last night I upgraded the OS of my Amanda 2.4.2p1 backup server from FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE to 4.5-RELEASE. After that I'm having a problem with chg-manual. As my nightly backup starts, it writes a bunch of stuff to /tmp/amanda/changer.debug. The last lines are: Args -> -slot next -

That is what I was thinking about doing initally..but I was concerned with introducing tapes into the rotation for my expected full backup (of the archive variety)I'm assuming that you don't add them arbitrairlly into your tapelist... I would guess that you add them before you do a full ba

I'm running amanda 2.4.2p2 on 3 BSDI 4.1 boxes. The first two are setup and running fine. I'm configuring the third box and I get the following error running amcheck: relay# su amanda -c "/usr/local/sbin/amcheck tig" "/usr/local/etc/amanda/tig/amanda.conf", line 26: configuratio

RE: Resolved - Multi-tape question

What I did here is not the second drive with the changer at all -- I change that tape by hand twice a week, and use it to generate an archival level-0 backup (stored in the tape safe) for long-term storage. I can use the tapes in the changer (on drive 1) to restore any file system to any day in

Use debian, can't go wrong with the installation. All you'll have to do is custom build your config and make sure that your hosts.allow allow amandad connection to go through. Total installation Time for Amanda on Debian was 5 minutes. Total installation time for Debian, 5 hours =) But its wo

ftp to central tape library instead of local tape?

i've loved using amanda for 5 years to backup ~50 partitions from various OSes (including netapps) to dat, dlt, and autoloaders, but here's a new one: i've changed jobs and now have access to a central tape-library, which you just ftp stuff into and it takes care of all the taping operations. my

Re: amrecover doesn't mount tape

Well, at least I would like to see an option to choose from, manual load or changer load. I for one, have my backup device at remote location. I usually can't find anyone to mount the tape for me, so using a changer is a must. I understand I can issue mtx command when 'amrecover' asks for tape,

Re: Resolved - Multi-tape question

Perhaps add another configuration, use the second drive as your tapedev parameter and change the first and last slot number in your changer conf file. So first conf will have slots 1-15 and second conf will control 16-30. Have them backup different filesystem. Althought I dont know if it would

Resolved - Multi-tape question

Thank you to those that wrote back yesterday, especially Don. I used the non-compressed device (in this case, /dev/rmt/1n), and amanda did indeed write filesystems until it hit EOT and rewrote that specific interrupted filesystem to the next tape. Does anyone here have a changer working with mor
