Hi! My suggestion: Use Amanda (www.amanda.org, cd /usr/ports/misc/amanda24 && make install with FreeBSD). It has support for smbtar. Haven't tried it myself, but I hear it's working fine. (I think I have seen a patch for gnu tar, that fixes the path length limit. I'm sure, though...) /Palle -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fr?n: Tony Jones <tony@rtd.com> Till:

Hi all, Being recently new to Samba. I want to know what some of you consider a really good tape backup. And, what software to run it with. I want to be able to offer customers daily full backups that the restores will work well with Samba. My understanding is smbtar only uses tar. Is there something even web based I can use. (for the guy just getting out to new small networks..and not to

I have an Overland tape library connected, via SCSI card, to an out-of-box, full install of C5 install on an old PC. I have a script that uses tar to archive data to tape and mtx to change tapes. What I don't know, if possible, is to obtain the status of how much tape is left in the drive. If I get a write failure, I'd like to know if the tape is bad or has run out of space. I

Hi list! While regular backup solutions like amanda or bacula are very good at their job, ie keeping point2point copies of the files currently on disk, I find them less suited for archiving - having unused files move to tape in duplo and stay there until requested. I've even read of multi-tier solutions - move to slower disks after a week and further on to tape after a month. Does anyone

I've taken you as far as I can go. ?Now you will have to experiment a bit for your use case. ?I should point out that at least in my system, the link with the serial number in it shows up even with the line commented in the rules file.

Hello, mtx and therefor amanda use generic device /dev/sg<x> for tape changer. These devices change on reboot. How to make them persistent? /dev/sch0 and /dev/sch1 seem to be persistent. /dev/tape/by-id/ shows links from WWID to generic device An UDEV rule could help? I have not found any example. -- Viele Gr??e Helmut Drodofsky Internet XS Service GmbH He?br?hlstra?e 15 70565

Ernie, Thanks for the great info.. Based on what you were seeing, would you suspect that part of the problem is with the combination of NT and the 3com card (3c595)? Currently, we are ONLY seeing this under NT Workstation (not server) and almost all of our machines have this same 3com 3c595 card (only if using 100BaseT).. -- Rick -----Original Message----- From: Ernie Oporto

Hello Ron, sounds good. I have 2 tape changer. I persume, udev creates the same link for both. Can I modify SYMLINK+="changer-$env{ID_SERIAL}" The serial should be unique.

Hi all, Has anyone used amanda in combination with samba to back up an NT4 server system? I'm able to connect to the server with both smbclient and smbtar on the command line, but I can't get amanda to connect. Supposedly amanda uses smbclient and smbtar to perform the backups. I'm continually getting the following error from amcheck: ERROR: amanda: [PC SHARE //servername/share

Hello! Is it possible to make a tape attached to unix host visible to windows PCs via Misrosoft's protocol? Now our users should telnet to the unix station and use smbtar. They want to use backup utilities from Windows. Is it possible? Sincerely, Ilya Ovchinnikov ------------------------------------- Internet Service and Information ILO2-RIPE

Hi all, I posted this to the list a few weeks ago but got no response. I'm running Amanda and smbtar and trying to back up some files on a Windows 2000 machine. I've verified that the files it's trying to back up are NOT open and permissions are fine for it to be backed up. This is a sample of the messages: ? code 0 opening remote file \ebsco-1064\cueanalysisnew.zip

Hi all, I am using Amanda and smbtar for backing up Windows machines. However, in addition to the errors I get on open files (which is to be expected), I am getting errors on files that should be fine to access. Here is a snippet from the Amanda log which contains smbclient errors: ? code 0 opening remote file \ebsco-1064\cueanalysisnew.zip (\ebsco-1064\) ? Expected SMBtrans2 response, got

Hi there, I am pricing out a dell 840 (low end file server) that will run latest centos. Can anyone recommend a good tape drive/card combo with centos? The drives (to be backed up) in it will be a raid 0 - 500gb. Thanks in advance! Dustin

Hi, we have installed ocfs2 on Rhat 4. It is being used as a general clustered file system. There are no oracle binaries or datafiles on the ocfs volume. So no need for RMAN or oarcle agents etc etc. The customer would like to backup the volume using arcserve. However CA are saying that they cannot backup from an ocfs volume. Has anyone out there got any words of wisdom about backing up
