Hi, I am trying to get amanda to work on my FreeBSD system and am facing some problems. I have set up an account called operator with all .rhosts permission & so on. When I do amcheck I get the following output : ------------------------------------------------- Amanda Tape Server Host Check ----------------------------- /scr/amanda/holding_disk: 1109003 KB disk space available, that's plenty. ERROR: /dev/nrst0: not an amanda tape. (expecting a new tape) NOTE: skipping tape-writeable test. Server check took 5.151 seconds. Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- WARNING: m.cs.dartmouth.edu: selfcheck request timed out. Host down? Client check: 1 hosts checked in 30.089 seconds, 1 problems found. (brought to you by Amanda 2.2.6) -------------------------------------------------- I am just trying to back up 1 machine which is both the Host & the client. I donot understand why it is giving the "not an amanda tape" error even though I have inserted a new DAT tape (or even the selfcheck timed out stuff). I have an APS-HyperDAT whose specs I have written up as define tapetype Hyper-DAT { comment "APS Hyper-DAT" length 2000 mbytes } I don't have any idea about the other parameters of the tape except that it is DDS & DDS-2 compatible & writes about 2 GB of data on a 90M tape. If I try to use amdump I get the following errors -------------------------------------------------- <stuff deleted> FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: dumper: FATAL must be run setuid root to communicate correctly m.cs.dartm sd0s1 lev 0 FAILED [no estimate or historical data] <stuff deleted> (brought to you by Amanda version 2.2.6) ------------------------------------- Any Clues guys ?? All help will be much appreciated. Please email a copy of your response directly to me at saurab@cs.dartmouth.edu. Best Regards saurab
