I can't even find what the heck logs you should look at, because the planner s
ays buzz all.
I love watching simple questions that have been researched sit for severald ays without a hint.

The basic idea is explained here http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Ama...manda_recov
ery . Amanda's tape format includes a header that can be read using dd. That header gives the commands to read the tape. There is more detail on Amanda recovery here http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Restoring_files , with examples of various situations.

I haven't used the packages, but it appears that they do use amandabackup as the user. See http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Ama...ge#Amanda_u ser .
Since you're building from source, you can do whatever you want. It's an issue of standard practices. I have built from source on all my systems and used the name amanda for both user and group. Then, in one department, I had a person whose name ...

Did you resolve this? Seems weird. What version of Amanda are you using? I presume you configured the
tape library so that you can move tapes around manually with mtx and that all works? Then you integrated that into your Amanda configuration, which is named HPTapeLibrary, using the chg-zd-mtx changer script? And confirmed that that works? Are you watching the changer and seeing what it is doing ...

Did you resolve this question?
The Amanda user is a configure option (the first step in building Amanda from sou
rce). That is necessary because there are many things that have to be installed with the proper ownership to work. See http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Ins..._Amanda_Sou rce , or see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Quick_start for a broader overview. So, yes, you would have to ...

Did you resolve this?
It looks like you have a tape cycle of 25, and you have only labeled
the first 9 tapes. So, at present, it thinks it cannot run a backup, because it cannot recycle any of the available labeled tapes. You can get around this problem by labeling the remaining unlabeled tapes (vtapes).
Then you will have to show what happens after that. Without seeing the errors, I'm ...

I did not see your original post. What was it? The amreport command can be used to generate reports and you could schedule something like this through cron. The command format would be:
amreport backupset -l log.
timestamp.0 -f report.txt
It would then process log.timestamp.0 and generate a report in report.txt that you could view.
