Greetings. I seem to be getting an awful lot of full (level-0) backups:
-rw------- 1 amanda backup 805,089,376 Apr 1 23:04 slot140/00020.alfred._var.0 -rw------- 1 amanda backup 805,100,793 Apr 2 23:04 slot141/00021.alfred._var.0 -rw------- 1 amanda backup 805,116,298 Apr 3 23:04 slot142/00021.alfred._var.0 -rw------- 1 amanda backup 805,124,968 Apr 4 23:05 slot143/00019.alfred._var.0 -rw------- 1 amanda backup 805,175,244 Apr 5 23:04 slot144/00020.alfred._var.0 -rw------- 1 amanda backup 805,240,006 Apr 6 23:04 slot145/00020.alfred._var.0 -rw------- 1 amanda backup 805,246,124 Apr 7 23:04 slot146/00019.alfred._var.0 -rw------- 1 amanda backup 805,285,370 Apr 8 23:04 slot147/00015.alfred._var.0 -rw------- 1 amanda backup 805,297,042 Apr 9 23:04 slot148/00021.alfred._var.0 It's not on all disks, but it's on a lot of them. My "estimate" seems to be working correctly: $ /usr/local/sbin/amadmin MyConfig estimate alfred /var alfred /var 0 876790 alfred /var 1 1420 ...and I haven't changed any of the default "bump" options. (I can post my amanda.conf if you want me to.) So I guess I'm missing something as to why my backups aren't bumping to level 1. My best guess is that "the level-0 backup is below some threshhold that amanda decides that repeated 800-MB level-0 backups are more efficient than requiring multiple tapes for a restore." But I can't find any obvious indication of such a threshhold. It's not a big deal, but it's got me curious. Can somebody toss a clue my way? --hymie! http://lactose.homelinux.net/~hymie [email protected]
