My Amanda server spontaneously rebooted at 1:09am this morning. After checking services, one of the
first things I did was to check up on Amanda, which should have been running at that hour. Since the
system rebooted, there are no /tmp debug files. However, the holding disk has stuff that was being
backed up – not much, since I have fast LTO7 tapes that it gets pushed out to.
I did an `amcheck daily`, which in older versions would tell me I needed to run amcleanup (I'm
running Amanda 3.4.5 on Ubuntu 14.04 Server LTS). That told me that there were 0 problems found.
Then I ran `amcleanup daily`, expecting it to spawn off and send an email report. Instead, I got:
amcleanup: no unprocessed logfile to clean up
amcleanup: /usr/local/etc/amanda/daily/log/amdump exists, renaming it
amcleanup: /usr/local/sbin/amcleanupdisk stderr: amcleanupdisk: Invalid
header type: -2 (UNKNOWN)
What do you make of this? What should I do, aside from just proceeding with
ongoing backups?
It seems I will have no records of what did get backed up last night before the reboot. It should
have been substantial, since backups started around 10:30pm last night.
