Hi!
After I read all documentations and manuals and config files and all
messages posted on the list regarding this subject, I still not understand
where is my mistake.
I want to perform a full backup of the entire filesystem (it has now about
400 MB but will reach several GB) on an OnStream 25 GB tape. I have RH 6.2
and amanda 2.4.1pl1.
If I specify in /etc/amanda/DailySet1/disklist that I want to backup the
oor filesystem:
server / root-tar
where /etc/amanda/DailySet1/amanda.conf looks like this:
[...]
holdingdisk hd1 {
comment "main holding disk"
directory "/var/tmp"
use 290 Mb
chunksize -1
}
[...]
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
}
define dumptype root-tar {
global
program "GNUTAR"
comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
compress none
index
exclude list "/var/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar"
priority high
}
but I get the result:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
server / lev 0 FAILED [dump to tape failed]
But if I try to backup the /home partifion, let's say /home (it also works
with any other partitions I tried, /bin or /lib for example), it works:
NOTES:
planner: Adding new disk server:/home.
taper: tape DailySet101 kb 128 fm 1 [OK]
So, my question is: where is my mistake? What I'm doing wrong that I
cannot backup the whole filesystem, starting with root directory?
Please help. Thank you,
Radu Filip
