Jean-Louis took a look at my config, and it turns out I had a foolish error. I had used the following lines from the default config:
# flush-threshold-dumped, flush-threshold-scheduled, taperflush, and autoflush # are used to control tape utilization. See the amanda.conf (5) manpage for # details on how they work. Taping will not start until all criteria are # satisfied. Here are some examples: # You want to keep the most recent dumps on holding disk, for faster recovery. # Older dumps will be rotated to tape during each run. flush-threshold-dumped 300 # (or more) flush-threshold-scheduled 300 # (or more) taperflush 300 autoflush yes This configuration instructs the system to not write any tape volumes until the holding disk contains 300 *percent* of a volume size. I had understood it to mean 300mb on disk. I have no idea why I thought that. Commenting out those lines allowed the backup to work as I had originally thought that it would. I just thought that I would post this for the others that are having the same issue - read the manual...as they say. Thanks for the help! +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +----------------------------------------------------------------------
