I have a SEAGATE DAT (DDS-3) tape backup drive, it holds around 1 gig of info, i'm
having some errors with the amanda amdump
First off, which I think is the largest error is in the
/var/log/amanda/DailySet1/log.20010220.0, in which it gives this error message:
ERROR taper no-tape [rewinding tape: Input/output error]
FAIL driver fserver /home/accounting 0 [can't switch to incremental dump]
I'm not sure what this means, the scsi device is terminated correctly, it's on id 4
with one other device on this (hard drive) on id 1, and id 4 does
have a terminator on it. The type drive is being recognized by the SCSI driver, in
/proc/scsi/scsi it's listed as Host: SCSI1 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00
Vendor: ARCHIVE Model: Python 04106-XXX Rev: 7270 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI
revision:02. Any Ideas?
The second problem and i'm not sure if this is related to the first or not but in the
same log file i have this error which is odd:
FAIL planner fserver /home/fserver/contacts 0 [ disk /home/fserver/contacts offline on
fserver? ]
I have around 5 directories I need to backup, (no disks) in my disklist I have the
following setup:
fserver /home/fserver/accounting comp-high
fserver /home/fserver/JobLog comp-high
fserver /home/fserver/contacts comp-high
fserver /home/fserver/WEBDEV comp-high
fserver /home/accounting comp-high
It has an error message in the log file for every one of those except for
/home/accounting.
I should note, that the user that's running amdump does have access to /dev/nst0.
/dev/nst0
is a valid device and i've checked my configuration and if needed can post it here for
overview.
I'm not subscribed to this list so if you could please respond to my message by
directly emailing
me I would greatly appreciate it.
