I recently followed the How-To and got Vtapes running in my
configuration. I had a couple weired problems that all ended up being
caused by bad file ownership. Double check that all the directories
are owned by your amanda user.
Hope this helps,

What about cdrw-taper?

Running Amanda 2.4.4p2 on a Linux(FC2) box. Tried the RPM, then compiled with
the following config to mimic the RPM build:
/configure --host=i386-redhat-linux --build=i386-redhat-linux
--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr
--exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/u
I have a very similar problem. I get no index files produced, so I can't
use amrecover. In the FAQ it suggests that I might no have it enabled, but
'index yes' is in my global dumptype. In my first ever dump, the cdirectory
I had specified did not exist, so I have since created it by hand.

Thanks Jon!
Solved that PDQ. As you said, by running amadmin I could get what it had
parsed my configuration file as.
It turns out that having "index yes" in my global dumptype is not enough -
this gets ignored. Moving the index yes into each of the types individually
works fine. Now feeling

I just sent a test message to my "amanda user", "amanda".
Unfortunately I had an alias of "amanda" -> "amanda-users...".
So you will see a stupid "hi there" posting.

Hi all,
yesterday i forced amanda to make a level 0. Today, after exchanging the
tapes, amanda complains about an active tape. I thought by forcing amanda to
make a level 0, it will start a new dumpcycle. In my understanding todays
tape is not active since i made a level0 yesterday, but amanda

I set my DLE up like this to try and split a 430Gb area so it can fit on my
40Gb tapes, similar to what's described in Chapter 18 of the ALPHA docs, under
"the size-question":
archimedes.atc.no home-a /mnt/san0 {
high-pri-tar
include "./home/[a]*"
} 3

How do I find out what the INT_MAX or MAX_FILE_SIZE is on my system? Previously my
amanda backup setup was dumping 40GB files onto a Samba share on a Windows 2000
workstation NTFS partition. Recently amanda has been dumping backups into 2GB chunks
even though the configuration still reads to u

Write a little C program. (Note filesize is dependent of the
filesystem type too.)
