Hi all,
I have amanda configured on an Intel box (PIII) running RedHat 6.1, kernel 2.2.12-20.
I compiled version 2.4.2-19991216-beta1 and am not using RPMs. My tape drive is a VXA.
I do incrementals Monday through Thursday and a full backup every Friday. My
incrementals work fine, unelss I'm using the tape labeled Daily-004. When this tape
is in I always get a tape error.
Two things are strange and here they are:
1) I tried a new tape last night, labeled it Daily-004 ran amcheck -scw and it passed
with flying colors. Why did the backup fail? (It's a VXA-10, 20 GB native, my other
Dailys are VXA-6, 12 GB native).
2) It claims it put everything to holding disk, yet all I can find are two partitions.
Why would this happen - amcheck reports it has enough disk space?
Thoughts?
TIA,
Nicci

A man was kneeling by a grave in a cemetery, crying and praying very loudly,
"Oh why..eeeee did you die...eeeeee, Oh Why..eeeeee,
why did you Di......eeee"
The caretaker walks up, pardons himself and asks politely,
"Excuse me, sir, but I've been seeing you for hours now,
carrying on at this grave. You must have been very close to the deceased."
"No, I never met him. Oh why....eeeee did you dieeeeee,
why....eeeee did you.."
"Sir, you say you never met this person, yet you carry on so?
Tell, me who is buried here?"
"My wife's first husband."
