Amanda Server 2.5.2p1 + ZWC 3.3 + Windows templates = error 278?

Hi all, I use a Ubuntu server, running Amanda 2.5.2p1 (yes, I know it's *really* old...) to back up a number of Linux machines as well as a Windows 2008R2 server. The latter has ZWC 3.3 installed, which works just nicely. I have two applications with data bases (living on two different

[2.5.2p1] Strange amcheck error if a ZWC client is down (long)

Hi all, I use amanda 2.5.2p1 on Ubuntu 8.04/64 bit as server, and 2.5.2p1 on several Linux (Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES) boxes, plus ZWC on two Windows (2003, XP) machines. The setup works nicely since 2 years for the Linux machines, and since several months for ZWC. We shut down the XP box today,

ZWC crashes

Hi all, I have ZWC-Community-3.1.3-32bit installed on a Win 2003 server. The server is amanda 2.5.2p1 coming with Ubuntu 8.04, re-compiled as to use my own tar wrapper (I need SELinux attributes). Unfortunately, ZWC seems to crash regularly. Symptoms: - on the Ubuntu server, the log says

Hi all, sorry for a probably off-topic question, but I hope someone can help me anyway... I use amanda 2.5.2p1 on several Ubuntu 8.04/64 bit boxes. As I use POSIX ACL's and SELinux attributes, which the standard GNU tar coming with Ubuntu doesn't support, I installed the tar variant from

Q: 3.1.2 Windows client with old 2.5.2p1 server?

Hi all, I use Amanda ver. 2.5.2p1 coming with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to back up three Linux boxes. As the tape drive of my Windows 2003 server died and a quick replacement is not available (as Sony discontinued their AIT drives...), I wonder if it is possible to install the Amanda ver. 3.1.2
