Backup Central

Hi guys,

I am falling in love more and more with amanda now.

Got a new server and all set.

Just a quick one. I remember that before, when running amcheck, I used to get an e-mail after. I don't seem to be getting this, but I do get my completed backup email from amdump like normal.

Gavin.

PS. Are there any better amanda documentation resources out there? I feel the restore one needs to be redone/added too.

May I?

P.P.S> it will be posted also on may page at http://FedoraNEWS.ORG/ghenry when I'm done, as I have been meaning to do the restore howto for a while now.

You probably have "amcheck -m Config" in your crontab.
In that case, no news is good news.
You only get a mail if something is wrong.

Using "amcheck -am Config" will send mail always.

probably you'll have to run "amcheck -a YourConfig"?
