I am running an Amanda configuration intended to do a full backup every 2
weeks on 2 tapes. I need 2 tapes because I know at least one of the
partitions will not fit on the tape. I intend to run amflush to get the
last partition on the second tape. My problem is that with the current
configuration, Amanda never leaves anything in the holding space! I have
plenty of room, but there is never anything left there. The backup report
clearly states:
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: No space left on device]].
Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk. Run amflush to flush
them to tape.
But there is nothing in the holding disk! Can anyone help me out?
I have the following configuration for an archival backup setup:
amanda.conf:
dumpcycle 0
runspercycle 2
tapecycle 2 tapes
define dumptype comp-root-full {
comment "Root partitions with compression"
compress client fast
priority low
record no
index yes
}
define dumptype comp-user-full {
global
comment "Non-root partitions on reasonably fast machines"
compress client fast
priority medium
record no
index yes
}
disklist:
server02.ct sda1 comp-root-full 1
server02.ct sda2 comp-user-full 1
server02.ct sdb1 comp-user-full 2
Thank you,
Cory Visi
