Hi Nathan, it seems, that the device ID of this DLE is changing between two values (0xfb04 and 0xfb05) over the time: root@SrvLinux1:~# ./tar-snapshot-edit-nathan /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/srvlinux1Bilder-Negative_* file version 2 /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/srvlinux1Bilder-Negative_0: Device 0xfb04 occurs 2210 times. file version 2 /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/srvlinux1Bilder-Negative_1: Device 0xfb04 occurs 2210 times. file version 2 /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/srvlinux1Bilder-Negative_2: Device 0xfb04 occurs 2204 times. file version 2 /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/srvlinux1Bilder-Negative_3: Device 0xfb05 occurs 2210 times. file version 2 /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/srvlinux1Bilder-Negative_4: Device 0xfb05 occurs 2210 times. file version 2 /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/srvlinux1Bilder-Negative_5: Device 0xfb05 occurs 2089 times. file version 2 /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/srvlinux1Bilder-Negative_6: Device 0xfb04 occurs 2093 times. --- root@SrvLinux1:~# cat /var/log/device-id-lv-bilder Mon Aug 22 16:46:18 CEST 2011: fb04 Tue Aug 23 00:00:02 CEST 2011: fb05 Wed Aug 24 00:00:02 CEST 2011: fb04 Thu Aug 25 00:00:03 CEST 2011: fb04 Fri Aug 26 00:00:02 CEST 2011: fb04 --- BUT: When I look at my reports, I have no large incrementals in these days (except the first, but this was before my id-logging started) reports are from the given date around 3 am): 21.8.: srvlinux1 -r-Negative 3 175 175 -- 158:05 19320.4 47:17 64592.9 22.8.: srvlinux1 -r-Negative 4 0 0 -- 0:07 401.7 0:00 29600.0 23.8.: srvlinux1 -r-Negative 4 0 0 -- 0:06 527.6 0:00 29600.0 24.8.: There's no backup, because of a problem in my network 25.8.: srvlinux1 -r-Negative 0 175 175 -- 158:00 19330.8 45:46 66733.4 26.8.: srvlinux1 -r-Negative 1 0 0 -- 0:06 529.1 0:00 29600.0 The cron job for dumping is set to daily at 00:00. I am not sure if the problem vanished or what happened that the behavior changed, which is not very satisfying, so I will have to wait a few days if the problem is really solved, which would be interesting, as there were no change in configuration :-/ Maybe it is too early to give a judgement. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know the result. Thank you all for helping me. /Thomas
