Hello,
I am having some strange behavoir with amanda. This morning I came in and
my level 0 had failed due to the fact that the disk has more data then my
tape device is capable of backup up. Thats cool. I tweaked the exclude
file to backup only what will fit. I ran amcheck - all good. So here is
where it gets weird. I ran amdump and started a new backup. I was
watching /tmp/amanda/sendsize.debug to make sure everything is ok. I got
the follown output from the estimate:
sendsize: getting size via gnutar for sda5 level 0
Total bytes written: 5240483840 (4.9GB, 9.1MB/s)
Which is great, expect when it went to actually create the tarball to send
it did a level 4 incremental backups:
sendsize: getting size via gnutar for sda5 level 4
Total bytes written: 891750400 (850MB, 1.1MB/s)
Why did it estimate a full, but actually run a inc? How does one force a
full backup with amanda.
