Wow, just when I thought the world was my oyster (AMANDA-ly speaking), I
hit a roadblock that I can't stumble past.
I have a tapeserver I'll call 'basecamp' with AMANDA up and ready to
serve. I have a NIS+ server which needs to be backed up (which I'll call
'xena'). Through much trial and error
*Light bulb goes from totally dark to a dim luminescence*
I ran amcheck from the client side (I had installed it without the
--without-server tag). I guess one doesn't use AMANDA server-side
programs on the client when it's supposed to be a client eh? :)
Doh.
Thanks!

Howdy,
I've lost my marbles and need help finding one. :)
I installed AMANDA as a client on a machine only I can't use /usr as it
has no space. I've chosen just to put it in / (/amanda), but the
'dailies' config is being looked for in /usr/local/etc/amanda/dailies
How do I tell AMANDA to look
For things that you want to keep accessed by certain uids, you can change
the group and make it group readable.
That's what I had to do to get AMANDA to be able to read my raw devices
(partitions) for backing up.
You can just create a user called 'amanda' and a group called 'backup'.
Make 'bac

Yeah, it should be, but I think that this machine had just the basics
installed on it, and then the previous admin went through and got rid of
things deemed unworthy. ;(
After reading your other reply and JRJ's great reply, I think I'm going to
take the situation by the scruff of the neck and

Well here's the results:
I configured/'make'd amanda on a 2.8 box with everything I needed (gcc &
the Sun forte cc). I did this as a regular user. I 'tar'd it up and
ftp'd it over to the 2.6 box.
This is what I got (I was root btw):
taipei# make install

Things like that are the reason I'm here, I believe. He's not here
anymore, but I don't like to just go hog-wild over a system I've
inherited. I'm unfamiliar with the functionalities of lex/flex so your
feedback is good for me. :)
Cheers,
Chris

Howdy,
Now that I got AMANDA working with my Exabyte 220 and Solaris8, I'm moving
it to our production side to actually implement it.
But, there's a slight hitch which I'm not sure how to get around.
The production tape server machine is running Solaris2.6 and doesn't have
all of the marbles ne
I just got a Exabyte 220 working with Amanda. I am using stctl which took
awhile to get working (due to it compiling in 32-bit mode by default), but
now it's working as advertised.
Two things on stctl configuration:
Go into the Makefile and uncomment out the BUILD_64BIT line and
Compile stctl

It's part of the STCTL package that works with AMANDA and the hardware

Hi all!
I was just wrestling with an Exabyte 220, AMANDA, and Solaris8 for the
past week, and after successfully installing SCTCL (to interface between
AMANDA and the hardware), I tried to see if amcheck would tell me happy
news.
Instead its' unable to read the status from stc-changer. After do
