Is there a way to tell amanda what errors from tar to ignore? Some sort of regexp we could program somewhere? We get a ton of the "file changed" messages and the "file is a socket, backing up anyway" messages, and they are quite the pain. We don't care that a file is a socket, nor that the file changed as we read the thing. If we could get amanda to realize those messages aren't to be interpreted as problems, at least with certain files on certain hosts, that would help us immensely. rob > > whiteley.tomandandy.com:/Local delayed. > > planner: Full dump of magritte.tomandandy.com:/public promoted from > 24 > > days ahead. > > planner: Full dump of whiteley.tomandandy.com:/usr/local promoted > from > > 24 days ahead. > > planner: Full dump of duchamp.tomandandy.com:/tomandandy/usrlocal > > promoted from 26 days ahead. > > planner: Full dump of ernst.tomandandy.com:/usr/local promoted from > 26 > > days ahead. > > planner: Full dump of ernst.tomandandy.com:/Local/Applications > > promoted from 26 days ahead. > > taper: tape miro_daily-21 kb 2891072 fm 17 [OK] > > > > DUMP SUMMARY: > > DUMPER STATS TAPER > STATS > > > > HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-KB OUT-KB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS > > KB/s > > -------------------------- --------------------------------- > > ------------ > > duchamp.toma -ry/CVSRoot 1 590 32 5.4 0:19 1.7 > > 0:005548.8 > > duchamp.toma -ocal/Users 3 54860 36288 66.1 4:48 126.0 1:32 > > 394.3 > > duchamp.toma -y/usrlocal 0 53410 12256 22.9 6:41 30.5 0:27 > > 450.6 > > duchamp.toma /var/mail 1 22970 10976 47.8 1:07 164.7 0:29 > > 377.9 > > ernst.tomand -plications 0 39080 12288 31.4 2:02 101.1 0:41 > > 301.6 > > ernst.tomand -ry/CVSRoot 1 1690 288 17.0 0:07 43.4 > > 0:002845.5 > > ernst.tomand -sers/leigh 1 10000 512 5.1 6:42 1.3 > > 0:002723.3 > > ernst.tomand -Users/skot 1 3750 1056 28.2 0:45 23.5 0:03 > > 350.8 > > ernst.tomand /usr/local 0 170540 51136 30.0 7:15 117.6 2:04 > > 413.4 > > magritte.tom -ocal/Users 1 4530 3136 69.2 0:16 195.3 0:08 > > 402.2 > > magritte.tom /home 1 35840 32768 91.4 1:24 392.2 1:12 > > 454.8 > > magritte.tom /public 0 1141460 923968 80.9 57:06 269.7 34:04 > > 452.1 > > magritte.tom /usr/local 1 200 32 16.0 0:01 61.2 > > 0:005577.3 > > miro.tomanda /Local 2 78960 15936 20.2 3:56 67.5 0:44 > > 363.6 > > miro.tomanda /usr/local 1 6490 608 9.4 0:48 12.6 > > 0:002353.9 > > whiteley.tom /Local 5 24478001780704 72.7 82:21 360.4 65:46 > > 451.3 > > whiteley.tom /usr/local 0 33340 8544 25.6 2:24 59.3 0:24 > > 355.3 > > > > (brought to you by Amanda version 2.4.2-19991216-beta1) > ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://webapps.myinternetplace.net
