Sparc or x86? Probably doesn't matter though.
Depending on how you mean 'drive' it,

Hi Amanda Users!
This morning I noticed that a DLE which has been forced (Level 0) on a NT
4.0 Service Pack 6 computer via Samba did not completely backup all
files. It seem that for any file/directory listed in Amanda's report (See
below) which start with a " ? SUCCESS - 0 statement

Hm, you may want to try:

I hope this helps,

Hallo!
The amanda man page states that the exclude list can be optional. So I defined

I've got a DLT8000 with amanda 2.4.2p2 from Red Hat's RH73 packages.
Whenever I try to do an amflush, the dumps terminate with an "out of tape"
error. This has been true for six tapes in a row.
The amanda log contains:

I'm trying to do an amamda backup to a disk file. The disk I'm backing up
has 3.1GB used (4GB total), while the output "tape" I'm writing to has a
length of 5GB. It should fit, but I get the following error message in the

The tapetype is as follows:

Yes, in my first attempt I was using a holding disk (of 4GB) on the same
partition as the tapedisk (of 5GB), with a total of 9.5GB free in the par-
tition. I tried it again without the holding disk and it still failed

Chris,
I looked around a little in the Amanda source code and convinced myself

You're right about that. I just tried to create a 3.2GB file and it failed
with "file too large" at the 2GB limit. It's an ext2. I have an ext3 sys-
tem too. Is that also a problem there? I'll have to try/fix it if I can.

Hi,
Sorry for the question but, if I have a 'dump cycle 7' and a 'runs per
cycle 5', Amanda will do backup five days of a Week. What's happen if the
server where I'm getting a backup down on the 3th day ? Could I recover the
backup until the 2st day ?
Thanks,

What kind of tape drive do you have?
Try to configure amanda with '--with-broken-fsf'.

Good point!
I am using an Onstream ADR50 for this test and forgot about the problems
this drive has with amanda. I also have an Ecrix, which works fine, and
I was ultimately planning to use both tape drives and a disk file.

Jon,
Thanks for the reply.
You say:
"Back when I was using Cygwin..."
Did you go back to samba, or don't you backup windows boxes anymore?
And yes, I did have to increase etimeout to 3600. I guess I will
increase dtimeout as well, though it is inconceivable that 30 minutes
can pass without a
