I was wondering if there had been any advancement in a Vista 64 client? Thank you.

Is there a "execute-on failure" or something similar where amanda will run the specified script when something went wrong during a backup?

- Couldn't write to the...

I actually didn't know that you could "force" a level 0. Also I usually backup just a couple of the machines on a quarterly where the config backups just about everything, so that's another reason...

Good point. I'm liking my method even more now.

I need to do the same thing, but I was thinking of doing it in reverse of what you're doing. I think it makes history and tape selection easier. In my case specifically since I don't have to worry...

Good to hear. Please let me know if you need a beta tester.

I am wondering about the status of the Vista 64-bit client. I tried looking for a Wiki page on it, but I can't seem to find anything.

after you create the link, did you run `ldconfig` do update the library listing?
You can also run ldd /path/to/file to see what library name it expects.

Sorry you're right you can't turn off the estimate, I checked my config and set the etimeout to -120 ( 2 minutes per file system). I also have "estimate client", not sure if that helped or not.

tpchanger "chg-disk"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/intra/changer"
changerdev "/dev/null"


However, now that I look...

Thank you very much, that helped a great deal.



If I am not using changer.conf, do I need to worry about that?

A little background: Each vtape is 300 GB (4 * 1TB drives - 4 vtapes per...

Thank you for letting me know. I was driving myself crazy.

My new backup server has 4 1TB drives attached (non-mirrored) [dedicated to amanda] as /backup/f, g, h and i.

I have /backup/amanda/slots/slotX (15 of them) symlinked to f, g, and h (5 each). ...

Hello,

I am just doing some testing on using amanda as my backup software. The question is, what options in amanda.conf effect the speed of backup?
