I'm getting these FAILED [can't switch to incremental dump] messages each time I run a full dump on a config. I have dumpcycle set to 0 to force a full dump each time. The full backups worked up until last week. If it can't make a full dump, it should at least do an incremental which it also fails to do.
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: host1.my /var lev 0 FAILED [can't switch to incremental dump] I even tried using amadmin to force a full on the next run and I still get the same error messages. I checked the amanda tmp dir for log info, but found nothing out of the ordinary. amadmin: host1.my.com:/usr is set to a forced level 0 at next run. I do not get any other message in my daily email besides the failed message. I would understand if it was complaining that it was running out of holding disk space or if the host was unreachable. I even confimred that all hosts were up with amcheck. The real weird part is that if I can use another config to perform incrementals on the same partition /usr, then everything completes without any issues. My issue is that the backup just fails on fulls using dumpcycle 0 and can not even switch over to degraded mode (incrementals) when the fulls fail. I need to perform na incrmental using another config to get that to work. I have plenty of holding disk and reserve space set. Any ideas? Thanks. end
