Hello List, i would like to backup to DVD-RAM and therefore split my backups into 4GB pieces.
I have read the manuals, but i am not sure which split option to use. There are so many. I am running amanda 2.5.1p1. Here is my config: amanda.conf: http://pastebin.ca/188824 Disklist: server md3 comp-root server md1 user-tar-span And here my error: ------------------------- *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [No writable valid tape found]. 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: a new tape. FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: server md1 lev 0 FAILED [dump larger than available tape space, 60864470 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk] server md3 lev 0 FAILED [can't switch to incremental dump] STATISTICS: Total Full Incr. -------- -------- -------- Estimate Time (hrs:min) 0:00 Run Time (hrs:min) 0:00 Dump Time (hrs:min) 0:00 0:00 0:00 Output Size (meg) 0.0 0.0 0.0 Original Size (meg) 0.0 0.0 0.0 Avg Compressed Size (%) -- -- -- Filesystems Dumped 0 0 0 Avg Dump Rate (k/s) -- -- -- Tape Time (hrs:min) 0:00 0:00 0:00 Tape Size (meg) 0.0 0.0 0.0 Tape Used (%) 0.0 0.0 0.0 Filesystems Taped 0 0 0 Chunks Taped 0 0 0 Avg Tp Write Rate (k/s) -- -- -- NOTES: planner: Adding new disk server:md3. planner: Adding new disk server:md1. taper: read label `daily-02', date `20060819' taper: cannot overwrite active tape daily-02 planner: disk server:md1, full dump (60864470KB) will be larger than available tape space DUMP SUMMARY: DUMPER STATS TAPER STATS HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-MB OUT-MB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS KB/s -------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------- server md1 0 FAILED -------------------------------------------- server md3 0 FAILED -------------------------------------------- (brought to you by Amanda version 2.5.1p1) Thanks, Mario
