hi
I was just wondering. We have a big fileserver here, which is backup'ed
every day. On two occassions, 2 dirs have disappeared.
I'm just making sure, amanda doesn't write to the disk its backup'ing,
right? If it doesn't, then some (l)user here is the cause.
Just making sure.
cheers

Hi,
Coming back to work after Easter holidays I found a small annoyance

After inserting the last tape on thursday all backups went to holding

This was sent to amanda-hackers, and clearly goes to amanda-users.

Has anyone had experience with an LTO drive with amanda? After setting my
config file which is included below I run amcheck and get the following
message.

Hi Amanda users,
I want to back up my data on the holding disk only. Every time I put a tape
in the tape drive, Amanda will first try to back up the data on the tape and
will only back up the data on the holding disk if there is no tape in the
drive or if there is a problem with the tape.
I would
In the files, chg-manual and chg-mtx there is a function in the code
labelled loadslot(). In this funciton the dd command is used to look
at the tape.

This appears to be post-processing code following that event wherein a

Along those lines, I always figured "dumpcycle 0" (possibly with an
"amadmin force ..." thrown in for good measure :-) was sufficient
to make Amanda do a full dump every time, or a

First, remember that Amanda is not doing the backups. You've told Amanda
to run some other program (dump or GNU tar) to do them.
In theory :-), Amanda should *o

You would cd to the top level of your Amanda sources (the directory
with ./configure in it) and run the patch utility (which you'll have
to get from ftp.gnu.org and install if your OS doesn't already have it)
with the patch file as standard input. You may a

Not currently. It would take a pretty major change to the protocol.
It also has a number of error handling issues.
Any chance your other machine could NFS export where you want to store the
index files to the tape server

This time it did not hit EOT but perhaps this is because the largest

I have not been able to decipher it from /var/lib/amanda/Daily logs or
from /tmp/amanda/*.debug output.

I put 3 tapes in ( from a previous run ) with wrong labels ( ie they
look like they are correct but they are not )
What is interesting is that the autochanger goes through tape 1, 2, 3,

6 , 7 do not have any tapes. changer is
