Hi guys,
My amanda is now up and running. I can backup and restore filesystems now.
But there is one thing that I noticed that really brought me to the point
where I ask myself "why did it do it?". I was backing up /var and it has
only 20 megs only and I got 4gig in my tape. I executed su ama

Having a copy of the previous dump's index at the beginning of the a
tape, along with a utility that reads the tape and generates an index of
the data currently on it would work fine.
Way back when I owned a 486, I had a tape drive (an Eagle Travan if I
remember correctly) that did that. Since I

Hello everyone.
Question: Can Amanda be setup so that it writes a copy of it's indexes
to the beginning of each tape?
I realize that I can add the filesystem that holds the indexes to my
disklist, but then I won't know where on the tape it is. If it were
always the first thing after the label

we had the same problem, we now store the data uncompressed on the tape.
And still get frequent errors.

No, actually I think it means it's not rewound (Is this a word? Bah!). Try
doing an mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind and then run an amcheck on that tape and see
if it's happy.

Good drives and tapes rarely have errors. If you are getting
frequent tape errors you should investigate why; your tapes
and/or drives could be in need of cleaning/repair/replacement.
Since failing drives and tapes don't get better, just worse,
you will be continually adding more workarounds (s

Could you please give me a
Title: readline & termcap libraries?.
Hi Group,
Can anyone advise -- which version of readline library should be used?.. GNU site has v4.3, while the amanda docs recommend 2.2, so does that matter?..
Also, should readline use termcap (there is 1.3.1 dated last month or so..) or ncurses?..
