If an amcheck of "localhost" by itself succeeds but gets "Connection reset" when run with all hosts, I would first question if the additional networking and processes is preventing the hosts on...

Hello!

If amcheck is run against each of these hosts individually, do any of them fail? Are any of them powered down?

I see the check for localhost gets a "Connection reset by peer". Is it...

Hello!

You ask if Amanda Enterprise supports the following features?


Data Deduplication

No but of course it can back up to appliances that do support deduplication.

you just need to follow the step given in the message:

Please add the line "192.168.1.11 amandabackup amdump" to /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts on the client

I haven't tried to use the perl pre/post-backup.pl scripts in /usr/share/mysql-zrm/plugins/ directly but if I simply add the the post-backup-plugin parameter in mysql-zrm.conf to specify the path of...

Your forum user should now be able to post in the Amanda Enterprise forum. Please let us know if not.

The amanda-client.conf file only authorizes a single backup server via the index_server and tape_server lines as observed. Thus this should be set to the backup server that you are most likely to...

The location of the state file for a chg-disk taper can now simply be specified with the changerfile parameter in the changer definition, ie.:

define changer "local_vtapes" {...

Hello!



Your setup would be fairly straightforward in Amanda.



Recently, it has been about every 6 months. 3.3.2 was released July
2012 with 3.3.3 release Jan 2013 followed by 3.3.4...

currently loaded slot () not numeric
Do not know which slot to unload tape into!

This generally means there is a tape in the drive and also in all slots...

Yes, running amdump is the next step and is the command to perform anytime you want to back up the data specified in the disklist file. All prrior commands were to create setup only.

The amdump...

Perfect! Well done. You are ready to back up your client.

"amdump DailySet1"

Hi, all sounds good.



Tapecycle controls that. You say you have 5 slots per drive and I see tapecycle is 6. This is good. This prevents Amanda from overwriting the "tapes" on the same drive...

Yes, the data for each object you are backing up is saved typically as a single file either on tape or disk.



That is fine as long as the backup server has enough disk space for backups. If...

Welcome to Amanda!



I don't understand this question. Would you please rephrase it?



All backups for a single config are written to the same tape or disk storage as seen by the Amanda...

It is possible to back up to vtapes simultaneously in Amanda 3.3 but I believe you are referring more to my mention of having more than one backup run on tape at the same time? In this case, I am...

That looks better. The debug file shows the process is finishing and exiting normally. That doesn't mean I am understanding why there is an issue when decompression during the restore, however.

Thanks, Jonathan.

What I was checking for was whether the Amanda API to read the data was ever started. The data would be read from tape and then streamed via gzip and gpg as appropriate and then...

Hi Jonathan, I don't see any particular issue in the amandad debug file. I can see were it closes both the amindxtaped and amindexd services. The amindexd debug file shows the QUIT at this exact...

hi!

I would think things should install on 10.7 correctly. What is the error you are getting?

If you want to uninstall, first unload any related LaunchDaemons:

launchctl unload...

Check out changing the umask for the amanda user or setting a sticky bit for the group permissions on directories amanda writes to.

I don't know about the specific build for FreeBSD but am surprised if the /var/lib/amanda (amanda user home dir) and /etc/amanda (amanda config dir) are not the same.

As for tape changer...

Hi!

The issue is that you only have 1 virtual tape and your tapecycle setting protects this one tape. If you want to have two backup runs on tape at the same time, you need to have at least 2...

Hi arbalam,

I don't have any experience with Bacula and so cannot compare the two. Other than the gui, if you hear of something that is availble with Bacula and wonder how Amanda compares or if...
