Now i have a different doubt .-), how can i tell amanda to compress the
files with bzip2 ?? I saw how once on a web but cant find it now, any
ideas ?

Confirm that the options are the same as gzip (?check logs in
/tmp/amanda?) and reconfigure/recompile with configure options
pointing to the bzip2 executable rather than gzip.

Or, reconfigure/recompile with options to point to a shell script
that you write replacing gzip for amanda only. This script can
redo the gzip options into bzip2 options. This is called a shell
wrapper.

Make sure it work things work in recovery as well as dumping.

gzip or bzip2 or compress or whatever.

everything is a guess/approximation by amanda until it has
a history of past compressions.

Hello again,


i have just reciompiled amanda using a patch to force the use of bzip2
instead of gzip, i have recreated the tapes, deleted all the logs and
database files.

I put the no-reuse option on all the tapes using amadmin, but now all
the backups are refused because amanda expects a new tape, did i miss
something to reset ??

amcheck-server: slot 4: date X label usb0tape4 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 5: date X label usb0tape5 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 6: date X label usb0tape6 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 7: date X label usb0tape7 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 8: date X label usb0tape8 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 9: date X label usb0tape9 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 10: date X label usb0tape10 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 1: date X label usb0tape1 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 2: date X label usb0tape2 (active tape)
amcheck-server: slot 3: date X label usb0tape3 (active tape)
ERROR: new tape not found in rack
(expecting a new tape)

Best regards
