> Was there activity on the database during this backup attempt? It's quite possible that there was a database-level backup happening at that time. Can I find out when amanda tried to backup this partition? It doesn't show up in the report and I'm a total noob with all the other tools.

When I said 'archive' I meant a Level 0 dump of all systems no matter what. Our normal backups are incremental unless amanda decides otherwise. -------------------------- David Olbersen iGuard Engineer 11415 West Bernardo Court San Diego, CA 92127 1-858-676-2277 x2152 > -----Original Message----- > From: Wayne Richards [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 8:47 AM > To: David Olbersen > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: FW: iGuard Archive AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR March 8, 2003 > > > Typically, it's been a busy condition of the filesystem that > causes these > types of messages.
