Hi
Using the above fine for ann Unix type hosts and of these tar and dump
based backups work fine.
Just tried to backup my first windows partition last night and it seems
to have worked but the dump ran with 'strange' - Can anyone point me in
the direction of what might be wrong?

Hi!
/usr/sbin/amdump new /bin/mt -f /dev/nst1 offline /usr/sbin/amtape

Amanda changes the tapes as needed, i. e. you don´t need to call amtape
(and mt) for that.
When testing this manually from the console, I receive the following
error message when running the amtape command:
Hi
Posted earlier about a 'strange' report to do with a windows partition.
I'm trying to restore this partition to see what made it onto tape.
The issue i'm having is that amanda is ignoring this partition and
skipping it.
eg

Hello,
Amanda is successfully running on our Solaris Servers. But on Amanda's
report (the E-mail it sends after amdump) I get the following STRANGE
message:

? /var/tmp/

Gil,
I've managed a few strange things over the years, my errors or
compounded bad choices specific to my site...
Over tightened security on temp, normal protections are 1777.
Configure amanda with one username but modify amanda.conf and
choose a different runuser.
List of errors goes on but
try titan //printserver/hyperion
Ah yes - its been a long week!
Thanks!
This sounds like an easy mod, but I can't for the life of me find out
where to make the change.
Our backup box sends its report emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
whenever a backup job is completed. However, I just switched the box
from sendmail to postfix so that I could do some internal email stuff
on
Matt
so what happens if you email out as root to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
do the emails arrive?
have a look in the maillog for clues..

At this point it seems that the best way for us is to switch from ufsdump to
gnutar.
But before doing so - what will happen with the backups that I did so far?
(I backed our data on a tape drive).
Does ufsdump and gnutar stores the data the same way? (Does ufsdump level

Gil,
I'm confused, why would suid be needed on ufsdump - isn't it run
beneith the amanda program (/usr/local/libexec/) rundump which is suid ?
For recovery, personally I use amrestore and pipe it to the required
utility so as long as I can figure that out (and its imbedded into the

It is not an amanda requirement, it is the way the system supplies ufsdump.

Hello!
We have our amanda server running on Linux, we use large disks as

and it works great.. However, I am not sure which windows client to use
for our
Windows 2000 server machine.. Can anyone point me to which client I
should use?

Hello,
A question about amanda's indexing and database
Short version:
Does a mechanism to share databases exist in amanda?
Long version: (best with an example)
I want 4 different configurations. All but one will be in offsite
storage. I want different configurations because then I will
If I understand your question correctly,
you are looking for smbclient; which is being called by Amanda in case
of backing up an smb server (your windowsserver)
smbclient is part of the Samba suite.
In your amanda disklist you would have
sth. like this :
localhost
If you don't want to back everything up on the samba share,
an easy way of excluding files/directories are to just deny the backup user
account access at all. I found this works a lot better than trying to get
an exclude statement working w/ SMB, but the trick only works with
NTFS.
