Incremental Backups

Is it at all possible to do incremental backups to the same tape that a full backup is on? I saw in the FAQs that this did not seem possible but was wondering if anyone had a potential workaround since the FAQ was posted. Thanks! Peter Webmaster Novocon.Net --

chg-multi....Inappropriate ioctl for device

I am trying to setup amanda v2.4.3 as a tapeless backup system. I have read alot of previous posts to the mailinglist including someones "cooksheet". However I am unable to get it to work. I have been using amanda for several years with tape-changers, so I am familiar with it. Here are my configs a

Re: Trouble getting SAMBA to work with AMANDA

On the 2000 box, be certain that the user that smbclient uses to access the share has full-control over the files within that share. In order to avoid this problem, I us ntbackup to create an archive of all the files that I want backed-up and then only allow access to the user that amanda/smbclient

Re: Trouble getting SAMBA to work with AMANDA

Sorry I forgot to mention this in my previous reply. I did mention it in my last reply, but I think it was still in transit. The Win2K box is NTFS. The Win98 is FAT32. I checked the permissions and on the Win98 box it is now set to full-control. I checked on the Win2k box and changed the "back

I will give that a try tomorrow (the ntbackup approach). Sounds like a great idea. I double checked the "backup" account on the Win2k box. It is in the administrators group, so I am fairly certain is has full control. I failed to mention in my last reply that the drive on this one is NTFS, not

Re: Trouble getting SAMBA to work with AMANDA

Richard, Thanks for your reply. I checked and found that the Win98 client's share was set to read only and the "backup" account on the Win2k client was in the "backup operators" group. I changed the Win98 share to full access and changed the Win2k "backup" account to the "administrators" group.

Re: Trouble getting SAMBA to work with AMANDA

On the Windows shares, I'm assuming that they are both fat partitions. You must allow full-control of the share, not just read (or whatever MS calls it). On Thu, 2002-12-05 at 14:41, Jeffery Smith wrote: > Greetings everyone, > > I am hoping someone can see what I am doing wrong. I have scoured

Trouble getting SAMBA to work with AMANDA

Greetings everyone, I am hoping someone can see what I am doing wrong. I have scoured the list archives for an answer, but have had no luck so far. I have an otherwise working setup for all my *nix clients. I am using a separate test configuration to troubleshoot as I can't get my Windows cli

amanda objective broken by rait?

I just wrote in another response that a design goal of amanda was to be able to recover the backed-up data from the tape without amanda software being available. Got me to thinking, has this objective been broken when using striping in RAIT configuration? If not, what non-amanda tools allow extra

I have a cron job that runs twice a week to tar up the entire amanda directory to a separate filesystem. That gets backed up every night. If I need to recover, I can extract the files from that tarball if the filesystem is still ok or extract the tarball from tape. > create a cron job that l
