hdparm is good for getting raw info, but you'll need something like
bonnie++ to get actual file stats.

Hi,
We have problems getting amanda working with our tape lib.
When executing 'chg-scsi -genconf' a core dump is resulting.
Any idea what the problem may be? Any hint for tests is appreciated.
Our config is:
Sun E3000 server (Solaris 7)
Qualstar TLS-4220 with AIT-3 drive
(connected via SBUS F/W
The 1 is in the file counter (see Script - 1001, 1002 .)
DailySet$counter == DailySet1xxx

Amanda does it's own cycling of full and incremental backups, tying to
get an even backup size/time over the tape sets.
If you want to do 'permanent archive' sets (we do) then you need a
separate config that only does level 0 backups and has the tapes marked
as don't reuse.
Have a read

err ... no
amanda's planner will decide when to do the full dumps, based on how
big/how long the dumps take.
if you want a definite archive set you need a separate config that just
has a zero dumpcyle..

Amanda uses native tools, it is itself a scheduler.
So, yes, if you have a decent tar or the OS specific restore
program and DD you can restore files elsewhere. Amanda is designed

Greetings.
First off, I'd like to say I've been using amanda in production for over
a year on two different LTO tape juke robots, a Storagetek L40 with three
drives and an IBM with two, Both units are using the zd-mtx glue and have

Basically regular amanda is not particularly safe.
There are at several questions to ask, surely more:
a) Can an unauthorized party ask a client for a backup? Amanda uses
BSD security, which means just like rsh and rlogin, trusting the
IP address and perhaps DNS if names are in .amandahosts.
Also, it should be possible to use IPsec, and require all
communication between the backup server to the client to be in ESP.
This should ensure that only packets in ESP, and hence authenticated,
are presented to the IP stack, making the IP-based acl reliable.
A wrinkle is that amanda uses
