Oooh.  Let me try and reply as a (ex) newbie?!

first, are you running as amanda?
second: did you run amcheck -sc<configname> -MMailname 
third, did you check the output in the /tmp/amanda directory?
fourth.  Are you sure the amanda commands are in your PATH directory ?

Subject: amstatus : amflush error message


Hello,

I'm just beginning to discover amanda, and yes, the setup and the tests are 
long and hard.
Well, I have almost one month to do them, and I hope I will be able to get some 
help :o)

Ok, what I'd like to do now is that :
- each day, a full backup
- I have a tape for every working day, from monday to thursday
- for now, let's keep it simple and do that.

Ok, so here's what I've set up, amongst other things :

dumpcycle 0
runspercycle 0
tapecycle 5 tapes
autoflush yes

I've labeled two tapes.
I've run amdump on two of them, and now, when I launch
amstatus DailySet1
I get this message :
/var/log/amanda/DailySet1/amflush: No such file or directory at /usr/local/sbin/
amstatus line 107.

In my directory /var/log/amanda/DailySet1/ I have two amflush.1 and .2 but no 
amflush.

What does this mean ?
I can I correct this ?

Thank you.
