Any time I've started getting premature end-of-tape it has been because the
drive is malfunctioning. Try a few times with just dd on a
om a backup; I would have to
extract the entire DLE and then either restore that, or open the
resulting archive and extract what I need. That is a little but of an
issue, but one I can work around if there are other advantages.
Is there maybe a comparison chart somewhere of the two methods?

I am looking at Amanda as a new backup server. I have a two drive, 40
slot changer.
Is the recommended setup to use two Amanda configurations, one for each
tape drive, or have I missed something in the documentation ?
Is this supported in a single configuration ?

Hi Dustin
You have to appreciate a lot of people have AMANDA in production
environments and it is working. We are very reluctant to change it in case
it breaks, we don't want the overhead of having to fix it.

Hi there,
We use this on 2.5.2.
On the client, amandad should be spawned by root (makes sense really,
as it's the only user who can see all files :) )
Here's my xinetd.d/k5amandad file :
service k5amanda
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
group = backup
server = /usr
We've been using a HP 2024 LTO3 autoloader (24 slot) for about 1 year
now.
It's been reliable and damn quick (50MB a sec on average).
Controlled by amanda with help from chg-ztx and mtx
Runs pretty much without intervention, just like all good backup
systems.

Ok,
I've managed to get more info on this.
If I run amdump with the failing entry in the disklist on it's own,
all is fine.
If put another entry from the same machine, the other entry backups
up fine, but the second will fail.
So it sounds like some sort of timing issue ?
Here's the dumper
Hi List
I'm having a really strange problem with one of my amanda clients
(that also happens to be the server).
It's got 2 disklists (separate filesystems), / and /usr
amcheck reports all ok
estimates come back fine.
/ backs up fine
/usr aborts as soon as it comes time to dump the filesystem
Maybe this will help.
It's the one I use here for OS/X server client. I think the key line is

I'd hestitate a guess that dump isn't compatible with HFS partitions.

When I do this, amcheck warns that I _must_ use a changer...
So how to do this without a changer ?
Cheers,

Please elaborate on this.
I presume root is need for tar, as it need file permissions ?
On the client a compiled, wrapper program, "runtar" is used
to call tar. runtar is installed owned by root and setuid'ed.
Ah, thanks Jon !

you don't need root to do backups, a member of group operator is
sufficient. we add a special backup user t

Because of a problem with amanda, it can happily overwrite the only
L0 you've got (as happened to me, and documented in a previous thread).
