Hi all. I have a question about the retrial specifications of Amanda.
As far as I know, The amdump command retries a backup when one of clients meets the following sudden troubles. * Power down * Death of Amanda processes by signals I confirmed these behaviors in Amanda 2.6 and 3.3 and I want to avoid any kind of retrial To make the reason clear, I explain the situation I am in. I am dealing with configuration of site wide backup by Amanda. The site includes several DB-HA-clusters and so on. In this backup plan, consistency of the backup data must be needed. For instance, DBs must be backed up in ways that allow PTR. To enable PTR, several steps of procedures are needed before and after amdump. I am afraid retrials to failure backups humper this process. So I want amdump to exit with error status immediately whenever any trouble happens during backup. I have been reading Amanda documents to know what kind of trouble causes retrials and how to avoid it, But not yet found a clue. If someone knows something about the infomation, please point out it to me. I will be appreciated it. Best regards. -- Kazuhiro Takenaka <[email protected]>
