Hi: I have amanda 2.5.1p3 running on a server and amanda 2.6.1p1 on the client in this case. I set up 3 "virtual tapes" on disk with a 3 week "dumpcycle" and a 3 tape "tapecycle". I then saw somewhere that you should have one more tape in your tapecycle than

Restoring from virtual tapes

I've restored amanda file systems in the past from tape using amrestore. However, I switched from tapes to vtapes several months ago and am trying to restore a file system. According to the FAQs and posts I saw searching various archives, one wants to use amrecover intead of amrestore for vtapes.

Amanda file driver questions

I'm switching from a DLT backup system to a disk-based backup system with occasional tapes for offsite backups. I followed the instructions at: http://www.amanda.org/docs/howto-filedriver.html and was able to get the first backup, but I seem confused about how to do a "virtual tape" rotation.

Responding to my own post...is it possible that this dump taking place over 2 different dates be an issue? Does it matter what date is in the tapelist when you flush it? If so, I could rename files or the folder... On Fri, 15 Sep 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I make a special amanda config

I make a special amanda config with a one tape tapelist to just dump this one large filesystem on a remote network that didn't make the last backup due to an interuption. After nearly 24 hours, it made it to the local holding disk on the server, but had a tape error trying to get it to tape. The

Replying to my own post (sorry, but I'm getting desperate here), I took the advice of the FAQ-O-Matic and installed lsof and ran this command: su-2.05b# lsof -uamanda There was no output. Should there have been? Does this mean that amandad is not running? This is what I have in my /etc/inetd.
