2007-06-26 Thread Toomas Aas
Hello! My Amanda setup is 2.5.1p2 on a single FreeBSD 6.2 server backing up only itself to vtapes using GNU tar 1.15.1. It has been running well for over 6 months, but then I screwed things up by splitting up a large DLE into two smaller ones. Initially I had in my disklist: hostname.com /s

Matt, thank you for your help. I didn't think that I had ip_conntrack_amanda, so I was trying to set it up without it. When I tried your way, it worked like a charm. Note to archive readers: I think it's important to insert the line: -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.1 -d 192.168.1.30 -p udp -m udp --dport 10

Restore from multiple configs

2007-06-26 Thread Harald Schioeberg
Hello again. In my struggle to get a working amanda config (working for my strange setup :) I reached the following decision: I'll use two configs, - "Weekly", which does level-0 dumps to tape (using chg-zd-mtx) - "Daily", which does incrementals to a virtual tape on disk (using chg-disk) As it

Kevin, thanks so much. You were right on the money. Disabling the firewall completely allow amcheck to work correctly. If you have some additional patience, I could use a hand trying to configure the firewall rules correctly on my amanda client. I tried to follow the directions at http://wiki.zman

Large number of entries in the disklist file?

Fellow AMANDA users, In the past, I remember seeing something about AMANDA having trouble when there are a large number of disklist entries. First, am I remembering correctly, and second what constitutes a "large number" of entries? My current backup plan is to have about 1500-2000 entries
