Using Amanda 3.4.5 on Centos 7.4 to backup Linux clients onto 11TB of local disk. Holding area and vtapes are all in the same 11TB filesystem, which is now entirely full!
The config started out with: dumpcycle = 14days tapecycle =30days num-slot = 30 under tapetype: length=5000GB and part-size=1GB I have now cut the dumpcycle down to 10, and the tapecycle down to 20, and was hoping Amanda could recover. But I'm still getting "out of holding space in degraded mode" in the logs, and Amanda seems totally stuck. How would I start over, throw away all the backups made so far, and begin with fresh/empty tapes? Also, after changing the config file, do I have to restart Amanda to get it to reread the config? Thanks, any advice is greatly appreciated...Lyle
