amrestore does not work remotely -- only on the tape server. amrecover
works from clients.

Hi all-
I am in the process of testing some recovery using dump versus switching
to gnutar and wanted to begin by using amrestore against a tape volume
in my tapeserver. The test file is a binary debian package of opera
wich was on hdb1 on the desktop.
The way I read the man page for amrestore
Hi,
'amrecover' would suggest that the tape server can be differnet than
the index server. Is this possible ( if so, I don't know how this
would be set)? This is not at the heart of what I'm getting at but
it is good place to start.

Yes, but you'll need either the current beta (2.4.3b2) or the 2.4.2-tapeio
branch out of CVS to do it. In either of those, see amanda(8) for details
on how to make it work.

Will Amanda work without the use of a tape drive?

Let me get this straight.
Amanda can exclude one file/directory type in the dumptype section of
amanda config that will apply to *Nix and Samba shares.
Is that right or is it that the one exclude defined in the dumptype only
applies to the *Nix shares?
I added dumptype "./*.lnk" to tonights da

I had this problem recently, and it turned out to be a bum network

Try doing an FTP of a large file between two of the servers that

to transfer, you should consider if your network

Hi
My backupserver backups itself and a client. The client is resolved
using /etc/hosts, and I can ping the name. The client has a amanda user,
has the amanda package installed and configured, and has a correct

I'm running amanda under inetd on the client. I try to do a amcheck a
Thanks everyone for your help. amrecover is working in our system and of

Thanks one more time :)
I'm trying to restore a backup of a client from tape. I'd like to first
read archive file off tape onto amanda server, then move the file onto
the amanda client and run it through restore.
I typed:
amrestore /dev/nst1 samba /dev/hdc1
after a few minutes of restoring I get:

I couple of weeks ago I was having trouble with amanda dumps for a
particular disk. The dump process would eat up lotsa CPU and could not
be killed (have to reboot). I was able to determine that the disk it
was backing up (using gnutar) was host:/home1 but in fact home1 was a
symlink home1-->hom

Why amanda uses a new tape on every night run?
Tapes are 40/80GB DLT1, and I dont understand why It dumps daily
incrementals to a new tape always, most of tapes are not even at 20%.
Any help? Is it any parameter I've missed out?
Thanks.
