Alexander,
Amanda uses a different model/concept than you are trying to fit on her.
First, amanda
I am having some problems backing up a large partition (raid).
I have a raid as a single partition with 56 GB of space. My tape drive
is a DLT 20 GB drive with a tape library with 7 slots using mtx for the changer.
I am running amanda version 2.4.2p2. I have set runtapes to 2 in amanda.conf

OK... the changer spec, "TAPE.CHANGERS", sez:
##
-info
Outputs to stdout three fields: the current slot string, the
number of slots, and whether the changer can go backwards (0
if it can't, 1 if it can). Same error handling as above.
Example:

I'm sure it would be convenient if we did the typin
There is development going on to allow AMANDA to write to any device as a
backup medium. No need to get creative with the holding disk. You could then
skip having to mount/unmount the drive, and really just change it like a
tape, as long as the base OS doesn't freak out. I think it's in beta. (N.B

Hi,
I am new to Linux and tape drives! I have an HP Surestore 24x6.
Slot 6 has a cleaning tape in. How to I tell Linux/Amanda to run a

Is it the same with the autoloaders? Mount the tape in the drive a
I'd like your opinion on an alternative to tape drives that would use
amanda to organize backups.
Let's say that our amanda tape server would have a firewire connection
to an IDE drive. Since firewire is fast, and hot-pluggable, one could
unmount the drive, disconnect the firewire, swap out the

One other possibility is that you are running amcheck, and it's kicking the

I am using 2.4.3b3 and that is really not what happens, I can come up
with a few reasons for this
1) I am using 2.4.3b3 and b means beta
2) I am backing up files that are much larger than my holding disks 40
gigs fo files for 4 gigs of holding disk
3) Could it be something with the tape changer,

Is there a procedure that people use when they forget to replace the
tape/put in the wrong tape.
Amanda stalls when this happens, is there a way to get it going
again(with the right tape in of course).

I used a Dell PowerVault 120T DDS4 autoloader and I believe it is actually a Sony TSL-11000 autoloader and Dell just rename it. My RedHat 7.2 recongnize it as a Sony TSL-11000.

Also set 'index yes' in the global dumptype, in order to enable amrecover.

This solution
Is there anyway for AMANDA to verify that a backup was successful?
I know there is the amverify utility, but isn't that just to verify the
tape is formatted properly. Just wondering.
Thanks

I am trying to deploy Amanda to back up a small office with currently 3
Linux servers and 2 Linux desktops, which number will soon increase. We have
a firewall with a fairly standard world/DMZ/internal setup and 2 of the
servers (including the backup server) are on the DMZ - the other server and

I've used Amanda for four years or so now in two different contexts,
but I've only recently made the following observation:
If amverify is started before amdump has completed, amflush will
(sometimes, at least) proceed normally, and amdump will be unable to
go on. Amdump does not, however, seem
