We have things set up to create weekly archives of full backups using amvault and have encountered a *strange* problem. This past week amvault is giving this error message:
FAILURE DUMP SUMMARY: amvault: FATAL label '60villagedrive-20110710-1' not found The 'tape' with the label '60villagedrive-20110710-1' has been removed from the changer -- it is not a real tape changer, but a disk-based on and the contents of the 'tape' has been burned onto DVDs and deleted, using rm and not amrmtape, from the changer disk -- we want to keep the label in the database so we can use amanda to recover from it at some future time, should that prove necessary. I have marked this tape as 'no-reuse', but it is still giving this error. Why? And how do we tell amvault not fail and to use a 'fresh' tape and label it properly? Why is amvault looking for an old tape to re-cycle? We are using CentOS 5 and amanda 3.2.0 on a 32-bit machine. -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 / [email protected] Deepwoods Software -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ () ascii ribbon campaign -- against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- against proprietary attachments
