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

Hi, I have a question regarding an issue I am having with our new Samba PDC. We used to be running an NT domain controller and about two months ago, I made the transition to a Debian linux box running Samba. The PDC is currently running Samba 3.0.8. My samba PDC is using the tdbsam backend and, for the most part is working flawlessly. However, when using smbpasswd to add samba accounts, I

We want to keep a backup or a mirror of your files in a server we don't fully trust. You can have an encrypted FS on a file, and copy the complete FS to the untrusted server, but it is inefficient, and you get no granularity at all. In our case, the remote server runs amanda, and we want to use amanda's power to restore files selectively -- yet don't give away our privacy. (We

I'd agree with you John. I'm trying to get away from Amanda's unpredictability and go back to using scripts to drive dump (for ext2/3/4) and xfsdump (for xfs). Is there any easy way to tell rear to include xfsdump and dump capability? If the commands are there then its trivial to restore data. What I've done in the past is before the nightly backup write a small file to the

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It works for me. I have three USB disks which are configured as 10 "tape" slots on each. I back up every few days to the disk, and about once a month take the disk into work and bring the oldest one back. Obviously the disk at home doesn't protect me against fire or theft, but it does protect against disk failure. HTH, Martin On

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

hello puppet list My puppet server is now working quite wonderfully. Thanks go out to all who have assisted in getting it to this point. At this point in time my config is now correctly installing packages according to arch,os and release. Centos is working quite well as of now, but I am attempting to get the ubuntu side of things to work as well. I am frankly more familiar with RHEL under

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

Hello All, I''ve run into an issue where an array that''s being passed into a defined type is being "flattened" when it''s inclosed in double quotes and I''m not sure how to get around this. This is happening a the pdxcat/amanda module and I''ve raised an github issues for this but wanted to query the community as a whole. The issue and my branch

I''ve been working up my first puppet module, one that will make Amanda configurations consistently. In general, I''d like the following to happen: - Each Amanda server should make sure all its holding disks are configured properly; this should only happen once per server, per puppetd run. Definitely not on a per-configuration basis. - Each Amanda server should keep its

hello list!! I am still having some file sharing issues with this puppet server and I was hoping someone would have an opinion they could share on this situation ## puppet errors err: //basefiles/File[/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: Error 400 on SERVER: Not authorized to call find on /file_metadata/acadaca/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf

Greetings all; I expect that I may not have the shutdown properly configured, but my site was subjected to some bad weather related intermittent power losses a week+ back, and I have an automatic standby plant, a 20kw, that usuall fires up and has the lights back on in 7 or 8 seconds. So while the power folks were reclosing substation breakers to see where the next tree limb was shorting

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 List, Happy New Years and I was hoping to get some help on an ssh issue that I am having. For some reason I am unable to scp to hosts on this network using RSA keys. Here is what I am doing/what is going on; scp the public key to remote host [amandabackup at VIRTCENT18 ~]$ scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa_amdump.pub amandabackup at lb1:~ amandabackup at lb1's password: id_rsa_amdump.pub

hey centos long time no hear! :) I'm having a small issue where the backup jobs that I set to run in the crontab of the backup user do not appear to be running. Here's how I set it up (with crontab -e as the backup user): run amanda every night (check at 2:45 and backup at 3) 45 2 * * * /usr/sbin/amcheck /var/log/amanda/crontab/amcheck.log * 3 * * * /usr/sbin/amdump

After the large update from 7.2 -> 7.3 there is one major problem, the amanda backup packages. Strange situation, the host is the amanda server is working fine at backing up all my remote clients. But it has an error backing up itself. The amanda packages did not change version (3.3.3) and I've done no configuration change. I'm not looking for help debugging this at the moment.

Hi James, Based on your suggestions, I improved the 'project details' and 'project timeline' sections of my proposal. Could you kindly review it and let me know if it requires further improvements.

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
