OK, perhaps amflush thinks amdump is still running. Try
running 'amcleanup config', if it says it did anything then
some previous amdump didn't

Hello,
Since I have a large filesystem that is larger than my 40GB tapes, I
use the gnutar exclude lists features to back this up. Since the
method is somewhat error-prone to forgetting things/excluding too
much, I was wondering if anyone had a script to show me all of the
files on my filesystem
Here is my amflush command :
Scanning /amanda/daily...
20040823: found Amanda directory.
20040910: found Amanda directory.
20041012: found Amanda directory.
Multiple Amanda directories, please pick one by letter:
A. 20040823
B. 20040910
C. 20041012
Select directories to flush [A..C]: [ALL]

Hello,
Is it possible to
have amanda check it's backups? Have her read in each dump on the
tape and make sure the length is correct? (or ideally tar zt each
dump if they are a tar dump, etc... and compare to what was backed
up)
My backups have been
running seeminingly fine, but I jus

Thanks a lot, unfortunately this chapter is still in html.
As you may have already noticed, the rest of the docs is already
available
The fun part here is that I have two different tars and two different
gzips - the ones supplied with the OS and "SGI freeware" variants
installed on /usr/freeware (dowloaded from http://freeware.sgi.com/)
Do not use the OS supplied tar! You'll hit a bug.
Yes. I do seem to remembe
