Yes, I've followed the FAQ, setting dumpcycle to 0, tapecycle to 1000 and runtapes to 1 (wanted to set it to 2, but amanda choked on the lack of a changer). | If so, then after every run I'd (temporarily) comment out each of the | file systems that successfully made it to tape so Amanda ignores them | on the next run. Did it. | Did you run "amcleanup <CONFIG>" after the server came back up? | That should have have E-mail telling you how far that run got. Nope, and now that I did that, there were some errors due to disks missing from the disklist. Should have done amcleanup before commenting out things from the disklist ... | >How do i go on now? ... | | Depends on what exactly you're trying to do, but with the information | above I'd just keep running amdump. Amanda knows how much actually made | it to tape and will adjust itself accordingly. OK, now I'm running amdump again. I'll see in a while. Thanks, Fernan | +----]
