I am getting further with Amanda. I ran a backup last night but had a
problem:
error [/bin/tar returned 2]
This problem has come up in the past (searched the group) but there
seems to be no specific reason for this. I'm using tar version:
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.11
I'm trying to backup:
/boot always-full
/ comp-root-tar
/big comp-root-tar
With the result:
DUMP SUMMARY:
DUMPER STATS TAPER STATS
HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-KB OUT-KB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS KB/s
-------------------------- --------------------------------- ------------
216.13.244.1 / 0 FAILED ---------------------------------------
216.13.244.1 /big 0 1216126011274432 92.7 144:011304.7 144:021304.7
216.13.244.1 /boot 0 14560 14592 -- 0:027555.8 0:111374.2
I'm not exactly sure why I can backup two partitions but not the third
(root). Is this a permissions issue? I exclude the following:
./mnt
./proc
./no_backup
./backup
./download
./usr/doc
./usr/man
./usr/src
./var/spool/mqueue
Thanks for any help or direction you can provide.
Mike
