amlabel said it's not a non-rewind but it is !?!? Why ?

Hi, When I try to label my tape on my HP 12000e changer, I always get that the device is a rewinding drive, and I use the name /dev/rmt/1n (actually I try /dev/rmt/1ln /dev/rmt/1bn et /dev/rmt/1) !?!? Any clue ? bash-2.05$ amlabel csd WeeklySet11 labeling tape in slot 1 (/dev/rmt/1n): rewindi

GNU tar's --atime-preserve switch

Hello everyone! I am needing to make use of last access time for some of the files on our system. Currently, Amanda/GNU Tar is modifying it. According to tar's man page, there is a --atime-preserve switch that will stop tar from modifying the access time. How would I make Amanda pass this swi

Reducing the amount of output from amverify

Hi! I'm sure this is covered somewhere -- if someone can just tell me where to look, that would be great. I just added an amverify run to my backup. The problem is that I now get the report twice: once from Amverify emailing it to me, and once from cron, emailing the same text. Is there some w

General question on AMANDA

Can someone tell me how AMANDA decides what level backup to do? I'm getting level 1 everyday of the week. Not that this is a bad thing, but I'm new to AMANDA and am trying to get a better understanding of the configuration here. I thought AMANDA did incremental backups. Something like Monday level

RE: cygwin/dump

Thoughts: 1. The 'dump' utility is specific to the filesystem it's written for. Porting Linux 'dump' for ext2 to Cygwin doesn't make sense unless your Cygwin has local access to ext2 partitions that you want to back up. 2. There is already a tar in Cygwin, but I have no idea if it's a good one

Setting compression on Sony AIT2 drive from host?

Has anyone figured out how to turn hardware compression on and off on a Sony SDX-D500C AIT-2 tape drive via software? The manual indicates that this is possible by providing a DIP switch to enable/disable this feature. Thanks! --Dave Chin [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Change in reporting?

Hi All, Prior to this week, I had amanda-2.4.1p1 running on Solaris with a single DAT drive. This week, I finally got amanda-2.4.2p2 running on Debian with an autoloader. However, I have noticed a major difference in the reports that I get. Under the old system, I got a list of all of the directo
