I believe, LVM2, or lvm special files has nothing to do with using

And gnutar actually *does* run with root-priviledges, at least, if
installed correctly
Hmm, that messages wasn't supposed to be sent yet...

I did, months ago. So it should be using the setuid runtar binary, but
still it can't read stuff. Maybe the problem arises in an earlier stage,

Hi,
After having spent several hours in vain searching the Internet for a
hint, I hope someone here can help. I know it's not an Amanda specific
problem, but I hope someone here has run into the same problem...
I've used Amanda without problems for quite some time. Most machines
here run LVM1

Hi Armando,
Could be several things. First, are you sure your clients have amandad
running? Check your inetd or xinetd configuration and test by telnetting to
port 10080. If you can connect, amandad is running.
If amandad is running and you still can't connect, there's probably a
firewall
Hi Mogorva,
First off, I'm not an Amanda expert either, so maybe I'm talking rubbish
here. If so, I'm sure someone will correct me :)
AFAIK you can't use the same tape for several consecutive backup sessions.
Amanda uses its dumpcycle parameter to decide how long it will refuse to
overwrite a
I tried a bare metal recovery yesterday, but without the success I had hoped
for. I restored the latest level 0 dump and then tried to restore the
incremental dump over it. First step worked like a charm, but as soon as I
restored the incremental tape, I got the error:

Hello Hans,

Why didn't you just use amrecover? It prompts you to insert the right
tapes in the tape server as needed, without you having to figure it out
yourself.
Kind regards
Paul,
Every machine here runs Amanda 2.4.4p2. I'm sure the tapes that amadmin
lists, are the correct ones: Dagtape-04 was made last thursday and on
fridays I make a full dump, using another configuration. This monday and
tuesday I went on with Dagelijks.
I got exactly the same message
, and there are no restoresymtables on it anywhere.
Thanks for your help so far.
Kind regards,

It seems as if Amanda has a problem with my DLT drive. It's an HP DLT7000,
an uncompressed tape has a capacity of 35GB, a compressed one up to 70GB.
But when I do a full dump of all my machines on a time that one of them
contains quite a lot of data (my own homegrown backup-images), I get this

I need some help configuring Amanda to backup a couple of hosts in our DMZ.
Been trying to get it to work for quite some time, but it just won't work.
Hosts in the trusted zone go like a charm, but no success on the DMZ hosts
so far. For some reason our firewall doesn't seem to like Amanda,
