Hello All,
hope someone here can help me with this. I am a new unix system administrator on the HP-UX machine. Every night, our operators back up our file system using one tape but as of recently, our files have gotten bigger and it now requires 2 tapes for a complete backup. Since the operators are not always logged onto the machine to see how the backups are running, it seems like the not all teh backups get done. I only saw it this morning after looking at my mail. Is there a command or something that I can that will send a message to the operators when the backup process looks for a second tape. Hope my question makes some sense. Thanks for your time and help!!!!!

amverify
AMVERIFY(8) System Manager's Manual AMVERIFY(8)
NAME
amverify - check an Amanda tape for errors
SYNOPSIS
amverify config [ slot [ runtapes ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Amverify reads an Amanda format tape and makes sure each backup image can be processed by amrestore and, if possible, the appropriate
restore program (e.g. tar).
Amverify runs amrestore on each file of the tape and pipes the output to a restore program (if available) with an option to create a cata-
logue of the backup. The catalogue itself is discarded. Only the success or failure of the operation itself is reported.
If the backup image cannot be processed by the restore program, e.g. if it was written on a different operating system, the image is sent
through dd to /dev/null. This still determines if the tape is readable, but does not do any internal consistency check on the image.
If config is set up to use a tape changer, the slot argument may be used to choose the first tape to process. Otherwise, the current slot
is used.
The runtapes configuration parameter determines how many tapes are processed unless it is specified on the command line.
See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.
