I'm trying to run the dump during the day and then send the backup to Amazon at night when it won't disturb my bandwidth.
I've got two entries in cron under the amanda user (amandabackup) 0 9 * * * /usr/sbin/amdump --no-taper dell 0 2 * * * /usr/sbin/amflush -b dell They both run, but it doesn't seem to do much of anything. I know that it works, because when I run amdump dell & at the command line, it will backup everything that should be backed up according to the settings in the configuration file including incremental vs. full Does no-taper mean something else than I think? I thought it just dumps everything to disk but doesn't flush it out to tape. Here's some output from that ------------------------------------ Hostname: ubuntu Org : Impari Systems Config : dell Date : October 4, 2011 There are 0G of dumps left in the holding disk. Run amflush to flush them to tape. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: dell-0003. STATISTICS: Total Full Incr.
