amanda Problems

[Sandra Panesso]

Hi everybody:

I posted few days ago a question (big one), but I have not received any answer so I don't know if I was clear or not (my english) so I am trying to understand my problem by myself. but anyway I need to ask you something to verify that everything is ok with my configuration.  I have now a  HP surestore 24X6 autoloader, and I using  chg-zd-scsi  changer file configuration. In amanda configuration I defined as runtapes  5 but still I have as dumpcycle 4 weeks,  as runspercycle 20 and  as tapecycle 25.  is that  configuration  ok?  another detail that maybe is important is: at the beginning I used to run amanda five days (since tuesday until saturday a.m) but since few months I included one day more (sunday)  because sometimes people works on weekends, so  I don't know if my configuration for the (runtapes,runspercycle, etc ) now is enough. I ask you is because I have problems with one machine when it has full dumps, every times when I'm going to do amflush I get an error that says "taper: retrying whiteley.tomandandy.com:/Local.0 on new tape: [writing file: No space left on device]"  " out the tape.  So I want to be sure that my configuration is ok to see other details that maybe i'm missing them.

Please help me with this because I need to migrate this machine to use another O.S but i want to back it  up correctly before to do something.

Thanks for your time

Sandra
