Hi Amanda Users,
This is my first post in that list. I'm using/testing amanda by 4 weeks and now I have a doubt about confs in amanda.conf.
My scenario is:
1 - I need to do daily backups only 2 - If possible, I need that only first backup (from the day) is full 3 - I have 7 DDS3 tape cartridges, one per day 4 - My backup has +/- 10GB per day
My confs about cycles is:
dumpcycle 0 days runspercycle 1 day tapecycle 7 tapes
Problem: In a first cycle (first week), daily backup is ok, no problems.
In a second cycle (starts on Sunday), amanda doesn't work was I think, amanda says:
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [cannot overwrite active tape Sunday]. Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk. Run amflush to flush them to tape. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: Monday.
My Question is:
What's wrong in my *cycles ? Who's can I solve this problem ?
Info:
Amanda 2.4.4 SO: Linux Tape: Seagate Scorpion 40
Thanks.
