Hi, For one specific DLE, I need to do a snapshot, through a pre-del-backup script. But the script takes quite some time to complete (up to a couple of hours). What timeout should I define to make Amanda wait for the end of the script before it can chunk the result?
Example for the DLE amanda /virtual/mybackups/st106808 chunker.20140924001916.debug times out after 300 seconds: Wed Sep 24 00:19:16 2014: thd-0x804c6ce00: chunker: pid 86096 ruid 10014 euid 10014 version 3.3.2: start at Wed Sep 24 00:19:16 2014 Wed Sep 24 00:19:16 2014: thd-0x804c6ce00: chunker: pid 86096 ruid 10014 euid 10014 version 3.3.2: rename at Wed Sep 24 00:19:16 2014 Wed Sep 24 00:19:16 2014: thd-0x804c6ce00: chunker: getcmd: START 20140924000501 Wed Sep 24 00:19:16 2014: thd-0x804c6ce00: chunker: getcmd: PORT-WRITE 11-00015 /holding/20140924000501/amanda._virtual_mybackups_st106808.0 amanda ffffffff9efefbffffffffff1f /virtual/mybackups/st106808 0 1970:1:1:0:0:0 10485760 GNUTAR 500064 |;auth=bsd;srvcomp-best;index; ...
