Two things that [Arkeia] doesn't do by default: Have a facility to 'write over whatever tape is in the drive', and eject the tape when it's finished. |
| |
|
2 |
|
| |
|
3 |
So, in the Advanced Options of your Periodic Backup, set the pre-backup command to |
| |
|
4 |
|
| |
|
5 |
arkc -tape -recycle -D name=[[`arkc -drive -read -D \ |
| |
|
6 |
name=__drivename | sed -e 's/tpname=//g'`] |

Substitue '__drivename' for the name of the drive that you configured in Arkeia. |

And in the post-backup command: |
| |
|
11 |
|
| 2 |

12 |
mt -f /dev/st0 eject |
| 1 |
CraigBox |
13 |
|
| 2 |
AristotlePagaltzis |
14 |
If you don't specifity __-f /dev/st0__, mt(1) will use __/dev/tape__, so you could just |
| |
|
15 |
ln -s /dev/st0 /dev/tape |

!Help! I get W00800015 "server is a type 1 machine" / '1'! You are limited to '0' standard machine(s) |
| |
|

|
| |
|

You get emailled/see backup logs like this: |
| |
|
22 |
|
| |
|
23 |
I00800060 Start of total backup: Savepack "Daily Backup", Drivepack "DAT", Pool "Tapes" |

I00800020 Adding savepack "Daily Backup" |

W00800015 server is a type 1 machine |
| |
|

Your machine still is a type 2 ("cheap" machine, see [here|http://www.knox-software.com/lic_types.html?p=1]) but the hostname has changed. |
| |
|
33 |
|
| |
|
34 |
What this probably means instead of __hostname__ returning your short name, it now returns your FQDN. |
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|
36 |
This is often caused by changing the order of your line in /etc/hosts: |
| |
|
37 |
|
| |
|
38 |
10.1.2.3 server.local.domain server |
| |
|
39 |
|
| |
|
40 |
If you get these errors, change the order of the entries in that line: |
| |
|
41 |
|
| |
|
42 |
10.1.2.3 server server.local.domain |
| |
|
43 |
|
| |
|
44 |
And all should come right. Figured out with help from [here|http://www.arkeia.com/archives_indexed/2002/12/msg00094.html] and [here|http://support.arkeia.com/cgi-bin/arkeia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=ihEQ4JQg&p_lva=&p_faqid=71&p_created=952135013&p_sp=cF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTEmcF9zZWFyY2hfdGV4dD1yZXRpcmUmcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT0zJnBfcHJvZF9sdmwxPX5hbnl_JnBfcHJvZF9sdmwyPX5hbnl_JnBfc29ydF9ieT1kZmx0JnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li=]. |
