Talking of snapshots, FreeBSD 5.x can do this too with the -L flag to dump.
Can someone remind me of how to generate a specific backup type (in
amanda.conf) that passes the -L flag to dump on the remote system.

Does amcheck run through fine ?
Is Back06 in your tapelist?

Great! I got MTX installed and I can move the tapes around like I want
to. That is working perfectly so far.
Now, when I'm trying to use Amanda I am still getting errors, I'm not
sure where the errors are:

Nevermind--I just added the address of the server to /etc/hosts on the

Some very useful information in man gethostbyname and man

those two calls. The default is to check bind first, but you

Can someone help me understand what happened here? One of my AMANDA

containing user mailboxes and shell accounts. It accounts for about
half of all my nightly backup data, so I noticed this morning when

Hi,
My backups have been working fine for quite some time. In
the past few days I've had failures and don't know where to
start looking. If I run amcheck -s Daily the output looks
ok. If I run it without the '-s' this is my amcheck debug file.
amcheck: debug 1 pid 3709 ruid 200 euid 0: start at
A common shorthand for specifying a Class C subnet is to leave off the
4th number, basically the same thing as 10.160.32.0, 10.160.32.0/24, or
10.160.32.0/255.255.255.0 etc.

Here's a very simple solution:
1. reserve 100 in amanda.conf (or comment out reserve line)
2. leave out the tape during the week (*or change dev to /no/such/tape)
3. run amflush before Friday backups
In this case, amanda should try to do degraded mode backups during the
week while there is no
Hi Frank,
The documentation for gethostbyaddr and gethostbyname explained how each
call goes about looking up addresses. At least under Linux, there were
several opportunities to override the default behavior and make the
routines consult /etc/hosts first.
In my particular case, there are
