Hi Amanda Users!
This morning I noticed that a DLE which has been forced (Level 0) on a NT
4.0 Service Pack 6 computer via Samba did not completely backup all
files. It seem that for any file/directory listed in Amanda's report (See
below) which start with a " ? SUCCESS - 0 statement
First let me say that you have an old version of Amanda. But I don't know where your
problem come from.
I only thing I can say is that, in my case (amanda 2.4.3), I also have problems with
Cygwin and index generation. Amanda does not tell me that there was a problem during
the backup; but when I

Hello all.
Is there a way of checking what is on the tape against what is on the disk,
to show missing or renamed files on a large scale?

Hi,
last week one of the holding disks of our backup server
(running amanda) crashed; unfortunately containing
some dumps of file systems.
after replacement of the disk (and using some other disks
as holding disks) and some more backups made to disk

I am using indexing, and gnutar to backup all of my filesystems, I keep
the indexes in /etc/amanda/backupset/index/ according to my amanda.conf
file.
backups are working properly, no errors reported. I can run amrestore on
a tape and see all of the files that are supposed to be backed up.. I ca

I have set up Amanda to backup one of our development servers using GNU tar
and gzip compression. Before running amdump, I cleaned out the curinfo,
index and logs directories, removed the debugging info under /tmp/amanda,
removed the previous dump files on the holding disk and cleaned up the

Okay good to know, although I have changed over to using tar for all
filesystems now.
one question, will tar cross files systems. for example
if I backup /home and under /home is have a mount point /home/mate
will backing up /home backup /home/mate aswell.
or will it not cross filesystems.

Huh? I doubt amrestore said anything like that. Maybe your recover
program did? What, exactly, did you see?
What was used to back things up, GNU tar or a system dump program?
What version of GNU tar (if you used that)? What OS
Hi all,
We've been using amanda here for about 12 months or more. And
thankfully we have not had to restore that often, anyway, the other day
a new guy screwed up our CVS repository big time, so we attempted to
restore from tape. which we was successful except for some missing
files.

By "error" I meant you didn't see all the entries in amrecover that you
expected to see. There isn't anything in the sendbackup*debug file to
indicate what went wrong (or even that anything did go wrong). The more
useful place to look is the index file (see b

And did you do it the same way Amanda does, i.e. with all the listed
incremental type flags it hands to GNU tar? That's where a lot of the
problems are, not in just basic tar operations.

It worked! I got a backup on tape and amdump sent me a success email!
