Hi all,
I went through the setup procedure of Amanda in openhabian-config. At the end I got a confirmation message that the backup will happen. But it only created an empty amanda.config file.
Any idea what I did wrong? Any advise highly appreciated.
Thanks
Simon
What I did in detail:
mounted a SD card in an USB adapter in /mnt/backup01
proceded the amanda menu item in openhabian-config. This results in a amanda.conf file (besides others) in
“/etc/amanda/openhab-dir backup %ADMIN 15 68 /mnt/backup01”.
I assume that caused the problem.
You are asked for a mail address so enter one.
There’s nothing like that asked for or mentioned in the README, is there ?
Please explain where the heck does one get the idea from to enter THAT string and why you never thought about trying a different input although installation failed every time?
Oh dear. If you did read more closely that was in a different context.
And a config to use that string in the final file is not the same as to enter that string during installation
Docs read and install asks for a mail address, so why don’t you enter one but try to be more clever than the programmer ?
Guess what. Sometimes I’m indeed cleverer than the programmer. Sorry to hear this never happened to you.
All jokes aside. I DID use a proper "electronic@mail.de" address in the first place. The result was the same. But since I read (“closely”) the other topic, I tried (next to many other variants) also one with “%ADMIN”. “Probieren geht über studieren”.
So thanks for your hint. But this wasn’t the problem. Any other expedient thoughts?
Ok, then go bake your own amanda.conf. The source is in /opt/openhabian/includes/amanda.conf_template and the code is in /opt/openhabian/functions/backup.bash.
Good luck.
Hello everybody,
I can confirm the amanda-installation problem is still not fixed. I run into the same issu while installing amanda backup. First on OH2.4.0 I did it from the Marianne Spillers instructions (chapter26), then after it fails more times, I installed a completeley fresh OH installation and tried to install again with the official openhab amanda documentation. Also failed again, then i tried with openHAB 2.5.0~M3-1 (Milestone Build), but every time the same. Installation said “OK”, but there are problems accessing and creating configuration files (resulting in a created, but empty amanda.configuration file). It seems to be a thing of user rights? (but i could´t fix that…)
Mount of the USB-Stick is ok, please see the code snippet with the failures:

[11:38:12] openhabian@openhab:~$
still some error using the new script with empty conf files created.
openhabian:x:1000:1000:,,,:/home/openhabian:/bin/bash
/bin/chown: cannot access ‘/etc/amanda/openhab-dir /var/lib/amanda/openhab-dir/curinfo /var/log/amanda/openhab-dir /var/lib/amanda/openhab-dir/index’: No such file or directory
I replaced the bash script from the link you provided.
openhabian-config does not try to update itself after bash script replaced.
looks like some syntax errors in the script.
For example I replaced /bin/mkdir -p "$infofile $logdir $indexdir" /bin/chown -R "${backupuser}":backup /var/backups/.amandahosts "${confdir} $infofile $logdir $indexdir"
there also seems to be some error in the SED command line but my knowledge for fixing it is limited: /bin/sed: -e expression #7, char 91: unknown option tos’`
Please help fix the script, my backups are failing.
I am not backing up the whole SD just the openhab files to a USB stick storage.
Here is a failing log:

Your virtual tapes (storage directories /storage/usbstick-linux/slots/* according to your config) are not found, maybe the dir is wrong or you mounted the stick with wrong permissions or UID mapping.
Delete the directories in your storage area, verify permissions are good to go and install Amanda again.
thanks for your quick answer - back to the stable 2.4 - I changed the backup.bash as suggested and described and after reconfiguration via the openhabian-config now the amanda.conf file was written and the “virtual tapes and discs” are created. Thank you, first step is done…
…BUT, now if i want to do a “amdump openhab-dir” under the backup user I got the following error:
[01:24:17] openhabian@openHABianPi:~$ sudo su - backup --shell=/bin/bash
[sudo] password for openhabian:
[01:24:28] backup@openHABianPi:~$ amdump openhab-dir
amdump: could not open log file /var/log/amanda/openhab-dir/log: No such file or directory
then I created under root for testing the missing folder “/var/log/amanda/openhab-dir” , but there´s already again a permission problem:
[01:24:45] backup@openHABianPi:~$ amdump openhab-dir
amdump: could not open log file /var/log/amanda/openhab-dir/log: Permission denied
my mistake or have I do to correct ALL the shellcheck #722 changes?
