Hi,
I'm quite new to amanda (and to backing up to tape as well). I already
managed to create a conf for our changer (Sun SL24). But I'm still
unsure what is the right device for the tape drive.
# ls /dev/rmt/
0 0b0bn 0c0cb 0cbn 0cn 0h0hb 0hbn 0hn 0l
0lb 0lbn
I always use /dev/rmt/0cn device on Solaris but if I'm not mistaken you
no longer need to specify the no-rewind device for the 2.6 release of
Amanda. The 'b' is to use BSD behavior instead of SRV4 for error
handling, see the mtio man page for more details.
Use amlabel to label the tapes, you'll
Andreas,
The type device is described in # man st(7D).
Amanda has a value in amanda.conf called labelstr
(One) of mine looks like this
labelstr ^INFO[0-9][0-9]*$
that is (starts with) INFO and has at least two numerics (then ends)
I believe there are newer faster ways to label tapes, even a

you point me in the right direction?

Hi,
I have another on: should I make the amandabackup user the owner of the
changer device file or is there a better way to enable access to the
changer for the amanda programs?
best, Andreas

You can set the group of the device to amanda's group and chmod g+w.

Amanda used to need a non-rewinding tape device because it would close
and re-open the device (sometimes in a different process) between
files. It no longer does this.
