Hi all datakeepers,
I'm sorry to ask something that has sure already been asked before, but i
cannot access to the list archives on ftp://ftp.amanda.org (first question :
how can i check the list archives? :^) )
My problem is : i use amanda to backup a Linux network - Linux is also
installed on the backup server. The amanda version i use is Amanda version
2.4.1p1 on Debian Potato. I got a large disklist and most hosts dont make any
problem. But i cannot backup localhost : i dont see anything wrong in the
logs except in amdump .
amdump contains :
setting up estimates for backup:/etc
backup:/etc overdue 9 days for level 0
setup_estimate: backup:/etc: command 0, options:
last_level 1 next_level0 -9 level_days 5
getting estimates 0 (3129) 1 (82) -1 (-1)

backup:/var/local/netapp/ overdue 9 days for level 0

backup:/var/spool/backup overdue 9 days for level 0

backup:/usr/local overdue 11464 days for level 0
setup_estimate: backup:/usr/local: command 0, options:

getting estimates 0 (0) -1 (-1) -1 (-1)
Further in the same file :

And of course, in the report :

localhost /var/spool/backup lev 0 FAILED [Request to localhost timed out.]
localhost /var/local/netapp/ lev 0 FAILED [Request to localhost timed out.]
localhost /etc lev 0 FAILED [Request to localhost timed out.]
Once the dumps are done, i always have a tar still running and using my
processor that never terminates, whose father is amandad.
I checked my firewall rules - the ports are not blocked.
I dont see what exactly, but something is going wrong and i have to solve
this problem - has anybody an idea ?
Thanks.
Dexter
