More generally spoken:
I would really like to know how many requests on this list that at
first look very mysterious break down to FAQ-kind-of-things in the
end.
Ever noticed that?
Well, one of the best things about amanda is that amcheck almost always
tells you exactly what's wrong. And even in my case, it was telling me
- I just couldn't quite figure out how to translate what it was telling
me at first. Honestly, in a year of using Amanda, after reading the
FAQs during initial install, I haven't had to go back because amcheck
usually told me the problem. I just peeked back at the site - the new
documentation that's out there is already a great improvement. :-)
I think that Amanda just has lots of "moving parts" - server config,
client config, OS-specific issues, tape changer configuration, optimal
cycle settings, etc... and so a lot of problems are going to manifest
themselves in bizarre ways through the interaction of the various parts,
but then turn out to have simple solutions. I don't think this is
necessarily a bad thing, and I hope that my asking here something that
turned out to be simple isn't looked at that way - because the next guy
is going to search the archives with that message string and solve his
problem. :-) I find that to be even more natural than a FAQ.
Thanks,
Fran
