Server 2.4.5, running on Gentoo
Clients mix of 2.4.4 and 2.4.5, amanda client on various Linux flavors
and Windows using the amanda client via Cygwin
One of my Windows servers is having an intermittent problem and has been
crashing (sometimes) when it's trying to start up with backups.
It's a W2K server, Cygwin, doing a fairly selective backup of some
directories using svr-comp-user-tar. From what I can see in the logs,
it's creating the estimate and sending it off to the server. It looks
like when it actually starts doing the backup the machine completely
dies. I'm thinking I'm going to remove Cygwin and redo the whole amanda
install on it, but my question is really about the server end of things.
The server continues to show it's getting the estimate from the client,
and never gives up and moves on to doing the rest of the machines.
Wouldn't be that big a deal, except I've got 35 servers being backed up,
and one failure bringing down the whole lot is a bit of an issue. <smile>
Machines that just don't answer at all to the initial request for an
estimate don't stop things, amanda just notes she didn't get a response
and moves on.
Are there any configuration tweaks I can do to make it go forward
instead of just halting everything?
Thanks,
LP
