Hello,
I have installed amanda backup and will save the backup-files on a usb-stick, but it do not work.
So, it is possible to start an amanda backup session manuell, so I can see, if backup file are stored on the usb-stick?
Thank you!
Yes. Manually switch to user backup and call amdump (or amreport if you want a report on latest backup run).
You can also do that in one go using sudo:
[11:23:03] openhabian@openhabianpi:~$ sudo -u backup /usr/sbin/amreport openhab-dir
Hostname: openhabianpi
Org : openHABian openhab-dir
Config : openhab-dir
Date : Februar 10, 2019
[...]
By default in openHABian, Amanda backups run every night at 1 a.m.
The output from this command is …
[14:58:01] openhabian@openHABianPi:~$ sudo -u backup /usr/sbin/amreport openhab-dir
Hostname: openHABianPi
Org : openHABian openhab-dir
Config : openhab-dir
Date : Februar 10, 2019
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [Can't make directory '/media/usbstick/slots/drive0': Permission denied].
No dumps are left in the holding disk.
The next 10 tapes Amanda expects to use are: 10 new tapes.
I have look the rights from /media/usbstick/slots:
drwxr-xr-x 17 openhabian openhabian 32768 Feb 9 22:15 slots
So, why can the user openhabian not create the folder/file drive0??
Because amdump runs as user backup not as openhabian so you created your storage directory with the wrong ownership/permissions.
I have now changed the folder permission to backup:backup, but now an other error occured

I’d recommend you delete your storage directory, recreate it with proper permissions and reinstall Amanda from the openHABian menu.
