There is not much documentation in setting up
AMANDA to be backuped up to a Hard Drive. I checked web sites, the MAN
pages, the mailing lists. And three weeks of trying to do this on my
own, I need help.
I get the errors in the logs
driver: adding holding disk 0
dir /backup/dumps size 296960 reserving 296960 out of
296960 for degraded-mode dumps driver: start time 30.057

I know that this happens where a commment out
tpchanger amanda.conf. I don't think that I should have
"chg-manual".
HELP!!!( at the bottom are the steps that I went
through)

amanda
- ./configure --without-client --with-index-server=server.backup.com
--with-user=amanda --with-group=amanda
--with-config=Involved --with-tape-server=server.backup.com
--with-tape-device=file:/backup --with-gnutar=/bin/tar
--with-gnutar-listdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda/gnutar-lists --with-amandahosts
--with-buffered-dump --with-assertions --with-debugging=/var/log/debug
--enable-shared
- if you are going to use samba you have to add two following options:
--with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient --with-samba-user=backup
and create /etc/amandapass file with umask 400, containing
path to winPC (//vega/c) + password for backup("blable")
- make
- make check
- make install
- mkdir /var/log/debug
- chown amanda.amanda /var/log/debug
- mkdir /usr/local/etc/amanda
- mkdir /usr/local/etc/amanda/gnutar-lists

- chown -R amanda.amanda /usr/local/etc/amanda
- touch /etc/amandates
- chown backup /etc/amandates
- chgrp backup /etc/amandates
- vi /etc/inetd.conf and add following lines
-
- amandaidx stream tcp nowait bin /usr/local/libexec/amindexd
amindexd
- amidxtape stream tcp nowait bin /usr/local/libexec/amidxtaped
amidxtaped
My amanda.conf has this
