Hi all,
Got a working amanda 2.4.3b2 installation running on a FreeBSD 4.6
server. AFAICS everything is OK except for one thing, backing up RedHat
6.2 systems with gnutar. The only trace of the failure I have is the
following in /tmp/amanda/:

Noel,
You can break the process into two steps:
1. Run a cron job which will run the pre-script, copy /db1
to a staging location, and then run the post-script.
2. Have amanda backup the staging area, instead of /db1.
Amanda likes to come up with it's own schedule for efficiency
reasons, s
Hi,
I am experimenting with Amanda on our database servers and have discovered
that we backing up our databases is proving to be a challenge using Amanda.
Specifically, we need to be able to run some pre/post script before/after
backing up certain filesystems within a backup session e.g.

After much experimentation I have finally succesfully
created an amanda backup. But I have not been able
to figure if these features are possible.
1) I currently have enabled 4 dumps at a time.
What I understand this meaning is the option
inparallel does 4 cleint dumps at a time.

With 2.4.3b3 I was getting "MISSING RESULT" errors. the b4 release seems to
have at least fixed that, but it's still not excluding the files/dirs
listed in the exclude list.

Greetings,
I use amanda 2.4.p2-4 with tar and I have a directory on one of my hosts
that has an odd setup. I have seven mount points with seven
subdirectories that I need to archive. Some of the sub directories have
data at any given time and some do not. The data changes rapidly. My

No, actually that's the way it "should" work, and does for me.

Dear Amanda users,
This is a follow-up of responses and results from my first post on this
list. You all helped me to navigate a very troublesome issue --
thanks, and may this discussion point other forlorn users toward happy
resolutions.
I will provide only the outline of my original message,
Good Day all,
I wanted to thank those of you that assisted in my struggle with label

Actually, it's a performance management thing. If you have several
partitions on one physical drive, you can give them all the same spindle
number, and AMANDA will only pull one backup from each spindle at a time, to
keep from thrashing your drives. I use this on my older firewalls (200MHz or
less

According to the notes in the sample disklist, its a spindle number
"placeholder", whatever that is. Something to do with a rai

Just make a backup of a few large files, recover them into a temporary
directory, and compare the recoverds with the originals using cmp -l.

Hello,
I just installed and configured amanda-2.4.3b4-20020829 on a Linux box
with an ecrix tape library and I might be stumbling on some bug and/or
feature: relative path exclude list don't seem to be used at all...

Hi,
Trying to backup a Win 2k server this is the message i
receive from amcheck:
Amanda Tape Server Host Check

Holding disk /data/backup: 13496396 KB disk space

I think I'm getting closer to the problem. First off, it seems that ide-tape
doesn't work properly with the Colorado drives. I haven't yet had time to
test, but I'll install ide-scsi when I next get a chance.
Does anyone know of a reference as to the differences between ide-tape/ide
and st/ide
