All,
I am using amanda (2.4.4p1) on a 280R running Solaris 8 with a 10
tape DLT IV autoloader. This is going to backup a SANS (256gb).Since the SANS cannot have any *applications* installed on it (ie: the amanda client daemons), I am using gnutar to try to do the backups. amdump is working fine until I try to backup a directory that has many large files in a subdirectory. In order to allow amanda to copy the files to the 40gb (native) tape, I have put entries in the disklist file with wildcards for the files I want to include:
disklist:
myhost /data/los/2003 {
include "*200300*"
data-tar
}
myhost is the SUN machine with the tape drive on it's scsi chain. The daemons are installed and in the inetd.conf and services file on this machine.
/data/los/2003 is the NFS mount directory off of the SANS. The total number of bytes for files with *200300* in the subdir is < 20gb.
When I run amcheck against this, is exits without errors. When I run amdump, I get the following error:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
myhost /data/los/2003 lev 0 FAILED [dump larger than tape, 74339580 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk]
planner: FATAL cannot fit anything on tape, bailing out
Am I using the incorrect syntax on my include statement, or is this not supported
in amanda?
I have tried searching google, but could come up with no examples of using wildcards in
the disklist file.
