- openHABian 3.3.0 on rPi4 4GB
I have migrated my items, groups, rules, etc. from OH2 to OH3.
after some 60 hours of work, I though it is time to set-up a backup.
I picked option:
50 | Backup/Restore Manage backups and restore your system ► then
52 | Amanda System Backup Set up Amanda to comprehensively backup your complete openHABian box
-
picked the NAS option; which works, have used it with rsync before; in fstab and mounted; backup user can write to it.
-
chose 50,000 (no comma) for 50GB based on 16GB SD card
-
and get this error:
-
after hitting OK I got the menu… and exited out.
This was terminal output:

Since then I re-ran the config, which is now faster: user name, password, email: root; NAS: /media/SynologyBackup, 50000… boom = error.
From what I can see, /etc/amanda/amanda.conf was not created.
Amanda seems to have installed:
dpkg -l | grep amanda
ii amanda-client 1:3.5.1-7 armhf Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Client)
ii amanda-common 1:3.5.1-7 armhf Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Libs)
ii amanda-server 1:3.5.1-7 armhf Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Server)
Any ideas?
Update:
I set the /etc/openhabian.conf to debug=maximum.
… going through the 1,000 lines it created in the terminal, I see:
$ chown --recursive backup:backup /media/SynologyBackup
+ chown --recursive backup:backup /media/SynologyBackup
chown: changing ownership of '/media/SynologyBackup/20221119-0800_backup.tar.gz': Operation not permitted

So, it could not change the owner on the NAS; fair enough.
I am going to use the attached USB SD card and change the Amanda config…
Set-up went through; now updating the config…
Will report back.
Update 2:
Even the install on the USB SD card had a problem; it reported:
expected integer in line 7
Looking at the conf file:
[15:55:57] root@openhabian:/etc/amanda/openhab-dir# cat amanda.conf

mailto "root@openhabian" # Email address to receive reports

runtapes 8 # Number of virtual containers to use at most per backup run
tpchanger "chg-disk:/media/SynologyBackup/slots" # The tape-changer glue script
taper-parallel-write 2
This line has no integer:
tapecycle tapes # Dump to this number ...
I changed it to:
tapecycle 10 # Dump to this number ...
The drive links also needed changing:

nothing to report on!
So far so good.
However, the backup I tried failed:
[17:18:02] backup@openhabian:~$ amdump openhab-dir
[17:18:56] backup@openhabian:~$ amreport openhab-dir
Hostname: openhabian

These dumps were to tape openhab-dir-01.
The next 15 tapes Amanda expects to use are: 9 new tapes, openhab-dir-01, 5 new tapes.

Well, now I am at the end of my wits.
