I am using 2.6.1p2-8.el6 on a CentOS 6.5 system. I am using virtual tapes (chg-disk) as my backup device. I want to use 5G 'tapes' and a split size of 1G. But amanda is using a splitsize of 10meg. Why is it doing this?
Here is my amanda config file (*I* cannot find the error): org "Wendell Free Library" # Organization name for reports mailto "[email protected]" # Email address to receive reports netusage 10000 Kbps # Bandwidth limit, 10M displayunit "m" runtapes 15 dumpcycle 4 weeks # Backup cycle is 28 days runspercycle 28 # Run 28 times every 28 days tapecycle 60 tapes # Dump to 60 different tapes during the cycle tpchanger "chg-disk" # The tape-changer glue script changerfile "/etc/amanda/wendellfreelibrary/changer" # The tape-changer file tapedev "file://backupdisk/wendellfreelibrary/slots" # The no-rewind tape device to be used tapetype HARDDISK # Define the type of tape infofile "/var/log/amanda/wendellfreelibrary/curinfo" # Database directory logdir "/var/log/amanda/wendellfreelibrary/logs" # Log directory indexdir "/var/log/amanda/wendellfreelibrary/index" # Index directory define tapetype HARDDISK { # Define our tape behaviour length 5001 Mb } define changer vault_changer { tpchanger "chg-disk:/backupdisk/wendellfreelibrary_vault/slots" changerfile "/etc/amanda/wendellfreelibrary/vault_changer" #length 5001 mbytes } amrecover_changer "changer" # Changer for amrecover define dumptype global { # The global dump definition maxdumps 2 # The maximum number of backups run in parallel estimate calcsize # Estimate the backup size before dump holdingdisk no # Don't dump to temp disk (holdingdisk) before backup to tape index yes # Generate index.
