amanda the piss-you-off-backup-solution

Hello dear tards.
How are you?
I'm fucking pissed.
I need to set up a backup solution for our new servers and my boss wants a free and easy solution.
So i thought how about amanda. There are enough forums/threads to help you with any problem. But oh fuck-you that is not the case.
So i come here to ask for your help. Anyone a amanda-crack?
thanks in advance
chris

solution
You shouldn't pour things on your servers.  Maybe you should look for some software instead.

|question

has anyone here successfully installed and configured amanda?
so that you can amdump AND amrecover your tapes?
Even that would be a big step further for me...

Yeah.

so that you can amdump AND amrecover your tapes?
Look into amconvert, you have to clear the archive bit first.

should i have mentioned that i'm using amanda 2.5.0, because boss wants CentOS 5.6 and on this somehow only 2.5.0 is available..

>>10 I recommend 2.4.6 instead (or whatever was the latest in the 2.4 branch), I remember seeing several discussions about 2.5.x bugs, which might or might not have been fixed in later releases which you don't have anyway.

that sir is the most informativ advice I got out of ~20 forum posts.
i will try that.
thanks a lot.

And jeah. 2.5.x is bugged hard.
I came to work yesterday just to see that may configured amanda(it was able to backup and amrestore) can't do anything anymore. Something about insecure ports and u+s-bit's missing.
And I still don't understand why my client can connect to the server, read the index informations, state the correct tape, but fails reading them (permission error, with correct set permissions and .amandahost file)
That was really nice and frustrating.

>>12
thanks a lot.
And now I feel kinda bad about it :(

I have never heard anything about this "amanda" thing and couldn't even be bothered to look it up on Wikipedia to use an actual tool name and version numbers, I just made both comments up completely, without a bit of factual information whatsoever.

Lol, I did >>9,11 !

>>14-15,∞
Oh, you jew!

that is sad.
but what else can you expect.
dont feel bad.
even if it is fabricated. it was still the most usefull comment AND it was correct to ^^
feel proud man PROUD

oh you crazy watermelone

How about this: base64-encode your data, and post it on /prog/. You could probably store around 1kB per post, so one thread would already suffice to backup a whole MB!

>>20
Psst...post it in old threads and sage(so no one finds the data by accident). each post can use about 10kb

>>21

Exactly 10000 bytes.
