In preparation for migration to OH4, I created a clean new install using openhabian. In the process, I had hoped based on xxxxx that both mirroring and Amanda would be set up, but it appears that only mirroring was actually set up.
I read this 2 year old thread openHABian unattended - amanda not installed - #18 by narf27. Rather than reopening an old thread, I thought i would start this new one.
Here is the relevant section of \boot\openhabian.conf
# external SD card device to backup and mirror the internal SD card to
backupdrive=/dev/sda
storageconfig=openhab-dir
storagedir=/storage
storagetapes=15
storagecapacity=1024
And from /boot/first-boot.log

From what I can tell, it looks like there was sufficient space allocated to sda3 for Amanda.
After rereading the documentation, I’m thinking that perhaps I might need to specify the amount of storage for Amanda to use:
“ Use storagecapacity=xxx to override how much space to consume at most for Amanda backup storage (in MB). openHABian will create partitions 1 and 2 to be mirrors of your internal card and will assign the remaining space to another partition that you can use for storage. NOTE: if you do and if the remaining space is sufficient, selecting this will also result in setting up the Amanda backup system on that extra space.”
Based on the advice to not back up the raw SD card if it has a capacity of greater than 8 GB (mine is 16 GB), and since I don’t have any idea how much space to use, it appears I should enter 1024, based on:
“ * “Backup raw SD card?” (not asked if you selected AWS S3 storage) Answer “yes” if you want to create raw disk backups of your SD card. This is only recommended if your SD card is 8GB or less in size, otherwise the backup can take too long. You can always add/remove this by editing ${confdir}/disklist at a later time.”
And
“ If you don’t have any idea and chose to NOT backup your SD card, enter 1024 (= 1 GByte).”
After going through all of the above, I see that I had storagecapacity=1024 in openhabian.conf, which brings me back to why I created this thread in the first place.
I’m sure I missed something, but I can’t figure out what it is.
Any suggestions on what I am missing on setting up Amanda in unattended mode?
Thanks

(I noticed that is says binds are null. I am using many bindings, and they all seem to be working, so I’m sure what’s up with the null.)
