With cronjobs, or as part of the amdump cronjob, could you do some
pre-amdump and post-amdump activity. For example, if you install

that would be the equivalent of not inserting a tape.
A quick question.
Suppose you run some level 0 backup (GTAR method) with amanda and leav the
files on the holding disks until there is enough files to fill a tape and
run amflush. Say this takes 5-6 working days.
Now, if, after 3 days, I have to restore something that has been dumped on

So I did a check by timing a 'dd' of 10 Gb to the tape drive. It was indeed

This morning, amanda (2.4.5) told me that some files changed during
the backup. I don't think it actually changed. Why does it mean by
"changed" ? The file in question was not being written to during
amanda's backup of the server, that I am sure of.
I'm suspecting a file "last access time" change.
Is there a document describing the various debug files produced by
amanda ? I'm currently experiencing a problem with a "FAILURE AND
STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
sol/disk1 lev 1 FAILED [data timeout]"
and would like to know exactly WHEN it happened and WHY it happened.
This is the first time I

This morning my amcheck (amanda 2.4.5) told me that I had to fix a
problem before run:

Hello,

Reading the amanda docs, I realize that there could be problem with
gnu tar if we back up with one version and restore with another...
I know it's not really an amanda question but this
It looks like with chg-zd-mtx, amanda always grabs the first tape it
sees fit, instead of taking the "expected" tape.
For example, amanda is supposed to do the next dump with tape
DailySet1-010, in the changer we have (in this order)
DailySet1-010
DailySet1-011
DailySet1-012

The problem I encountered yesterday with one of the clients continues:
amanda cannot get the estimates (and the backups) from a particular
client. There seems to be some sort of networking problem.
The client is in the DMZ, protected by the firewall. I even
recompiled amanda to make sure it is u
