Dear all,
In my continuing quest to master an inherited Amanda 2.4.2p install,
I tried playing around with the file driver, as detailed in
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/File_driver
Before messing around with chg-multi, I thought I would use a single
vtape device, specified using tapedev. I don't have ammt or amdd in
this setup, so I can't do the tests described in
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/File_driver#Simple_virtual_tapes
I can, however, run amcheck:
amcheck algo_test
Amanda Tape Server Host Check

Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check
--------------------------------
Client check: 1 host checked in 0.027 seconds, 0 problems found
(brought to you by Amanda 2.4.2p2)
Yes, dear, the file _does_ actually exist:
ls -la /xlv1/amanda/algo_test/tape1
total 0
drwxrwxr-x 3 amanda amanda 22 Mar 28 12:57 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 amanda amanda 23 Mar 28 12:57 ..
drwxrwxr-x 2 amanda amanda 9 Mar 28 12:57 data
So - could anyone hit me with a clue? I list my disklist and
(partial) amanda.conf below.
