The 3.1.3 windows client is available as of today. As far as I know, the Ubuntu packages you mention were available when you the release was posted; at any rate, they're available now.

Note that Amanda-3.1.2 contains a security vulnerability. Please install Amanda-3.1.3 instead. See http://amanda.org/secalert-3-1-2.php.

The Amanda development team has discovered a security vulnerability introduced in Amanda-3.1.2. The vulnerability affects both Amanda servers and clients, and could lead to remote execution of code...

As promised, we have the first beta version of Amanda-3.2.0 out today.
It's available from

The FSF_AFTER_FILEMARK property is determined experimentally, so I suspect that it's correct. I don't know much about Solaris, but perhaps there is some way that this can be configured there?

The "Mysterious short write on tape device: Tried 1048576, got 0" often means that your block size is larger than the actual on-tape block size. In this case, the tape drive breaks your blocks up...

Nope. This has been discussed on the mailing list, and some fixes should get commited shortly - definitely in time for 3.2:

Thanks! I've committed the patch in r3419.

Generally the best place for patches is on the amanda-users or amanda-hackers mailing lists - http://amanda.org/support/mailinglists.php.

Ah! MySQL's error log file had disappeared (I switched syslog daemons and accidentally deleted its directory), and apparently it tries to rotate error logs on 'flush logs', too, and fails when the...

Looking at the code, it seems that this comes from a run of 'mysqladmin flush-logs'

That operation seems to be hanging for me, which makes sense -- there's a 4-hour delay between flushing and...

My ZRM backups stopped working about a week ago, and I haven't been able to find further information about why. With verbose, this is what I see in the logs:

Hello,

The Amanda core team is pleased to announce the release of Amanda 3.1.2. This is the latest bug fix release in the 3.1.x release series, and introduces no new functionality over the 3.1.0...

Actually, since you provided more detail here than on your amanda-users post, the answer is different.

If you want to mirror to two tapes, use the RAIT device/changer.

S3 is available everywhere - the source is in device-src/s3-*.

The glib error has to do with the version of glib - the glib folks restricted the order in which the initialization functions must be...

I would advise very strongly against implementing a custom taper, as the driver/taper protocol is internal to Amanda, and will go away completely in a subsequent release.

You're talking about the...

How quickly did the manual untar operation go? What restore tool were you using that was taking 1s per file? Did you try amfetchdump? Usually amfetchdump is a better idea for a full recovery,...

Is the tape device in fixed-block or variable-block mode?

I'm following up on this on the freebsd-scsi list, by the way:

"using tape drive chg-multi" doesn't sound quite right. You should set amrecover_changer to "changer" in amanda.conf, and then set tapedev to "changer" in amanda-client.conf.

You can fork the project on github:

At this point we're not planning another 2.6.1 release, so we haven't backported it.

Whenever I see bogus "Permission Denied" errors, I suspect selinux. Perhaps it is in the "nonfunction" configuration, also known as "enabled"? Try setting selinux to the "functional" configuration,...

Hmm, well, it looks like you have "tapedev /dev/YOUR-TAPE-DEVICE-HERE" in amanda.conf, which is not right. You'll need to point that to your actual tape device.

The difference between 2.5.1 and 2.6.0 can be seen in the NEWS file:

You'll need a Windows client to back up Windows systems, and a Linux client...

In general, you wouldn't want to run a remote holding disk -- that would defeat the purpose of holding disk, which is to spool the data locally before writing to the final storage media.
