Chg-iomega

From The Open Source Backup Wiki (Amanda, MySQL Backup, BackupPC)

This changer script is designed for IOMEGA or JAZZ disks of various sizes as well as any other removable disk media. This is a PURELY MANUAL changer. It requests insertion of disk media via messages on /dev/tty. So it cannot be used via crontab. Make sure you comply with any of the following. - Add statements

       tpchanger "chg-iomega"
       tapedev "file:<mount_point_of_removable_disk>"
       (e.g. tapedev "file:/mnt/iomega" )
       tapetype IOMEGA      

       define tapetype IOMEGA {
           comment "IOMega 250 MB floppys"
           length 250 mbytes
           filemark 100 kbytes
           speed 1 mbytes
       }

to your amanda.conf. - Add entry to /etc/fstab to specify mount point of removable disk and make this disk mountable by any user. - Format all disks, add a "data" sub directory and label all disks by using amlabel. - Be aware that as of version 2.4.4p1, AMANDA can't handle backups that are larger than the size of the removable disk media. So make sure /etc/amanda/<backup_set>/disklist specifies chunks smaller than the disk size.
