Re: Amanda client stopped working

Type something on the client: you should see the letters on the other side. Wait some time, and type something on the other program, and see if the letters appear on the opposite program again. Some experiment with how long to wait before answering should give you an idea if it is a timing

Re: Dumps Fail - Estimate Timeout errors

Have a look on that client in /tmp/amanda, look for the files sendsize.DATETIME.debug and see how long the estimate did take. The first line of the file is the start time and the last line is the finish time. How long did it really take? You many have to change the etimeout parameter in

Restore problem - tar backup

Hi Posted earlier about a 'strange' report to do with a windows partition. I'm trying to restore this partition to see what made it onto tape. The issue i'm having is that amanda is ignoring this partition and skipping it. eg amrestore -p /dev/nst0 titan \\printserver\hyperion | tar xvfp - --

backup to Iomega REV

My original post Can Amanda use an Iomega REV drive as a tape? was answered affirmatively (thanks to all who responded!), but I'm still unsure of how to proceed. I have 2 servers: Amanda: 36gb-raid-1 (mirrored) -- RedHat AS 3.0 opsys, Amanda 2.4.4p4 72gb-raid-1 (mirrored)

Re: rackmount tape changers

We're looking at increasing our backup capacity, and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a rackable tape changer, with about a 9 tape capacity (I'm thinking LTO tapes) and a SCSI interface. Anything at all would help; I'm especially interested in such devices that you are
