Hi,
for testing purposes I would like to use the null device. I included a tapetype.conf in my amanda.conf file
tapetype.conf:
tapedev "null:"
tapetype HD
define tapetype HD {
comment "Backup to Null"
length 7 tbytes
}
I'll get an error with amcheck:
backup@chronos:/etc/amanda/a2g$ amcheck a2g
Amanda Tape Server Host Check
-----------------------------
Holding disk /u1/amanda/ahd: 8528060416 kB disk space available, using 7516192768 kB as requested
found in slot 1: Can't open NULL device for reading or appending.
slot 1: Can't open NULL device for reading or appending.
all slots have been loaded
Taper scan algorithm did not find an acceptable volume.
(expecting a new volume)
ERROR: No acceptable volumes found
...
The man pages weren't very specific about it.
If I want to use just a null device to test if the 'grabbing' from the servers works fine: How do I do it?
