tape handling: amtapetype and new tapes

2005-11-25 Thread Rodrigo Ventura
Hi. I have a couple of questions about amanda's behavior: The first one is, amadmin CONF tape says, in my case, something like The next Amanda run should go onto tape ISR005 or a new tape. If I add a new tape, say label ISR006, I guess it is automatically added to the amanda tape list, right? My

Hi, No problem doing amlabel ISR006 right now, amanda will let you do the backup in ISR005 or ISR006, it is up to you. I don't know which kind of tape you have, but in scsi tapes you cat do mt -f /dev/nst0 compression 0 to turn hw comp off. Cheers, -- Inaki Sanchez Rodrigo Ventura wrote:

I don't have any experience with autoloaders, so I can't tell you for sure. If you backup fits into one tape, put only ISR005 in the autoloader today to ensure that amanda will use that tape, and tomorrow you can put ISR006. You can run mt -f /dev/st0 compression 0 at boot time to ensure hw

Backing up ACL's ?

The network admin here would like to start using ACL's on some files (Centos 4.1 a read hat 4 clone, and Red Hat 4). We use amanda (with gnutar) I don't think gnu tar supports it (other than by using dump, which we don't want to do for reliability reasons) Do you know if ACL support is planned ?
