Hey guys, thanks for that massive replies :)
Anyway, My system is FreeBSD 4.6 STABLE.
I've tried reinstalling amanda but this time, using the ports and not from
the the source. I think, it's almost the same as ports grabs the source
file. Anyway, I modified the Makefile in /usr/ports/misc/amanda-server,
specifically --with-user. Now, it's set to --with-user=amanda. I also
modified the group for the amanda account in /etc/passwd using vipw.
When I executed su amanda -c "amcheck Daily", it told me that the "tape is
not an amanda." I search google and found out that from a thread the I
should execute amlabel. I tried amlabel Daily VOL01 but that didn't work.
Fortunately, it showed me a regular expressions that I should follow. So I
executed it again as amlabel Daily Daily01. This time it worked. I also
tried dd if=/dev/nsa0 bs=32k count=1, then I saw the headers of my tape
which was AMANDA, .................. so on :)
Tonight, I will try backing up a data. But I would like someone to visit my
amanda.conf in http://restricted.dyndns.org/amanda.conf.
I only have 1 tape drive and 1 tape. I am only doing this at home and is
very determined to learn amanda. I would like to have a full backup every
saturday 10pm only. No needs yet for incremental. Once I have bought new
tapes, I will post here again about it. :)
Btw, i did use non-rewind on my amanda.conf, I don't know if I got the right
device entered there (/dev/nrsa0).
So please give me some fix that I need to do on my amanda.conf
Thank you very much for all the help and succeeding ones.
Neil
