"Degraded" means that there was no or the wrong tape in. Maybe somthing in your setup went wrong. Do you use chg-disk (just for the record) ? OS> 1) We have 17 tapes defined each one with 75000 MB.

It will try to do the full backups ASAP. AMANDA is designed to balance your backups. Expanding the size of your vtapes will help her to meet your goals.

Backup needs about 4 1/2 hours by now, OS> if amanda would also try to do something from last night, we will run OS> into some problems ... Expand the size of your tapes if possible. Set the not-so-important data to a higher dumpcycle-value if that is not enough. For shorter dumptime you could try to increase parallelism. We should know more about your setup and config to help you with that. -- Du kannst mich auch offlist auf deutsch kontaktieren. -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
