Hi all, My only encounter with tape-backup was with Windows 2000. With it, when we backup things using windows' backup tool, it will create a 'catalog', then the catalog contains all the backup operations we do based on date. So, with this we can "append" many backups into one tape. Next time we want to restore a backup, we can choose what date available in that

Hello all. I have 15 or so CentOS servers (now v4.4, I will upgrade them all to 5 when it comes out) and a few windows machines. I am looking to implement a network backup solution using Amanda. I will be backing up 200 gig or so to start, but that will grow. Does anyone have any recommendations on tape drives that will work "out of the box" with CentOS? Thanks, Joe

I am trying to get amanda backup going on a CentOS 7 system and things are not working: sharky4.deepsoft.com% sudo systemctl start amanda-udp [sudo] password for heller: Job for amanda-udp.service failed because a configured resource limit was exceeded. See "systemctl status amanda-udp.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details. sharky4.deepsoft.com% sudo systemctl status -l

I'm busy migrating some older hosts to CentOS 7 but have found that the available amanda packages (see above) have not been compiled on a host that has the 'dump'

Hi, Is there a step by step guide to configure amanda server and client on CentOS and backup on hard drive? Regards Kaushal

Anyone familiar with the selinux policy for the amanda backup software package? I'm getting lots of data not being backed up. For example, under /home there are 2 directory trees owned by root. Those get backed up, user home dirs do not. No AVC denials nor messages in /var/log/messages or journalctl log. But if I turn off selinux enforcing, or set amanda_t type to permissive, complete

At the bottom is what I got returned from AMANDA 2.3.0.5 after patching Samba 1.9.16p11 to give estimates. Any idea what I might not have done yet? My disklist reads: shokk \\thor\depot nocomp-user-gnutar To connect successfully to that server with smbclient, I have to do this, giving the same password that I now have in /etc/amandapass: smbclient \\\\THOR\\DEPOT -U BACKUP Also, the

hello list, I am attempting to ssh via a user account setup for amanda backups from the backup server to the test backup client. AFAIK everything is setup correctly yet when I ssh as the user to the client I have to type the password. the public key is in the authorized_keys file of the client and permissions all seem correct. Here is a verbose output of the ssh session [amandabackup at

Hi, I am trying to create a Samba share on /media/winshare with the owner as amandabackup instead of root. But as soon as I mount the Samba share on to the mount point, the permissions for the owner get reverted back to root instead of amandabackup.

I hear that backuppc does *not* have a native *Doze client. On the other hand, I know amanda's been around a long time, and it does. Opinions on amanda, folks? mark

We are running backup softwares for incrementals/differentials and full backups with variouse softwares currently using dirvish scripts + amanda .. what is everyones views on other opensourced backup software? is there anything better or other options we have missed? We are looking at backula as an option? any thoughts? Thanks - Nathan - http://www.linuxcare.ca

Hi Folks, I want to use samba and amanda to backup NT/win file system. I downloaded the latest version of Samba and trying to install on bsdi4.0 and it complains that the OS is a "trapdoor" OS and will not work propperly. I installed it anyway and I can connect to NT no problem but when I connect it back to the unix box, it complains about "Bad password - name/password in a Tree

Has anyone noticed that there appears to be a few problems with regards to Samba and in particular the usage of smbclient, which can do one of the following : 1) Complete & udder death of the NT networking subsystem (which requires a reboot to cure) 2) smbclient appears to lose its connection with the host being contacted and eventually needs to be killed. I'm not too sure how

I list, I'm new with backup ops and I'm searching a good system to accomplish this work. I know that on centos there are bacula and amanda but they are too tape oriented. Another is that they are very powerfull but more complex. I need a solution for small office for disk storage and I found Backup PC. Many people say that it is great for small stuff and for great number of data. What do

Hi folks, I've got a bit of a different scenario than I imagine most, and have spent the last 60 or 90 minutes searching Amanda list archives and googling, but did not come up with anything much. Then I went browsing around the Amanda website and found "vaulting" and was wondering whether this would suit my needs. I'm basically searching around for a backup solution and

Hey folks, I just went through the archives to see what people are doing for backups, and here is what I found : - amanda - bacula - BackupPC - FreeNAS Here is my situation : we have pretty much all Sun hardware with a Sun StorageTek SL24 tape unit backing it all up. OSes are a combination of RHEL and CentOS. The software we are using is EMC NetWorker Management Console version

So I thought I'd get a head start for next week - I have a low-power Linux box that has a few samba shares mounted, and limited hard disk space. This box is connected to a tape library via SCSI card. I want to find the best way to create a full, then incremental backup of the samba mounts, directly to tape. Some of the samba mounts are appliances that cannot run any special
