Hi everybody,
Hoping somebody can clarify something about amanda
for me.
I have my backups set to run on a 3 day dump cycle
with 6 tapes, running every evening except sunday night. It
seems to work fine, we change the tape each morning so over the course of a week
(if I understand how
Thank you for the pointer, I think that may be what I needed... will see how
the backups go the rest of this week.

Read up on the 'reserve' parameter in amanda.conf, its default value, and
its effects on degraded mode dumps.

This morning first thing I looked in my email to
see the amanda backup report to see how it ran last night there was no report
there. So I checked the server and doing a ps
showed:

Please forgive me if this comes across twice, I
sent the same question yesterday but it seems that it never made it to the
list.. at least I didn't receive my own message if it did.
I want amanda to back up multiple home directories,
but I don't want to back up everything in

Or was it nowait, and you changed it to wait (or fixed the username

No, I added the inetd entry as listed above and then actually rebooted the

That was my first thought too, but /usr/local/lib is already in

Have you the directory /usr/local/lib listed on /etc/ld.so.conf? This file
is a kind of path for finding libraries. You probably don't have it.
After adding it you have to run ldconfig to update the cache used
I guess the problem was simply that it couldn't find the libraries in
/usr/local/lib afterall, though I don't really know why. I tried making a
symbolic link in /usr/lib to all the libam libraries in /usr/local/lib and
it fixed the problem I was having.Maybe just running ldconfig would

Are you 100% sure that you are looking at the correct files?
And there is no other amandad installed somewhere else, which is invoked
instead? Also, someone else with a similar problem had mixed
up the hostnames in DNS, resulting in connecting to his test setup
instead. What is in the debug
I solved the problem. It was a problem with the server compile.
Apparently the clock on my backup server was losing time, I will have to
configure ntpd on it. The clock was way behind and there were error
messages related to that in the compile.I fixed that and then recompiled
