Re: backup strategy
Stefan Zörner wrote: Hi, we are about to build up a backup system onto a network drive. We do not need long term full backup, we just want to be able to access data maximal a month old. We thought of doing one full backup and then just doing cumulative backups. We are planning on using it over a longer period and since after a year the data can differ a lot from the original full backup each cumulative backup can get quite large. A possibility of course is to do a full backup now and then. My question is, that instead of working with cumulative backup I want to use incremental ones. Now normally at the end of a cycle the oldest incremental backup is overwritten and the whole backup becomes worthless. Is there a method were the oldest increments is included into the full backup itself after a cycle has been reached? Example: - one full backup - 10 increments before starting increment 11. Renew full backup by including oldest incremental backup. Thanks in advance for any help or pointers. You should take a look at this: http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/FAQ:How_are_backup_levels_defined_and_how_does_Amanda_use_them%3F before launching off into backup strategy ideas based on prior knowledge from other kinds of backup software.

Hi All,
Debian lenny, Amanda 2.6.1p1-2
I'm backing up a single 1.9T xfs filesystem to an LTO4 drive with
changer. The backup seems to complete correctly and recovering files
that are on the first tape complete correctly.
However, when trying to retrieve and files that are on the 2nd tape, the
tape is loaded correctly by the changer (after first spooling through
the first tape, as a side note is there a way to skip this?) then after
some time the following error is shown
You would not be able to skip the first tape if this is where the backup
image begins
Ok. It doesn't help if it is in 80G chunks?
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Extractor child exited with status 2
How can I find out what the previous errors were?
You need to look in the debug log for the backup application you are
using on the client in /var/log/amanda/client/config/.
I don't have any amgtar logs, just the amrecover logs - which have the
security stream_stream_close message I noted below. Is there some
additional logging I can add?
For amgtar, it will be amgtar.datestamp.debug
Cheers,
Paul
In the amrecover log I also see

trying to restore an F10 insttall
Greets all; I tried to install the ati driver package for my video card back on the 9th of April, and have been trying to recover my Fedora 10 install ever since. That driver install hosed the X11 stuff as their installer went through the system deleting stuff that would get in the way of its install, and when all the damage was done, then refused to build a kernel modules for kernel 2.6.34-rc3 which I was running at the time. So then, thinking most of that would be in /etc/X11 and /usr/share, I sent amrecover off to restore those two trees. /etc went just fine, but amrecover got itself into a loop in the middle of the /usr/share recovery and was so locked up I had to use the reset button. At that point, the Fedora 10 install was and is un-bootable. So now I'm running, and gradually getting the warts frozen off, mandriva-2010-x64, well enough that I should be able to run a locally built amanda and attempt another recovery. I have mounted the disk partitions of F10, and copied all the /usr/local/var amanda stuff to the mandriva's /usr/local/var/amanda, as well as all the stuff from F10's /usr/local/amanda, and nothing has been written to the /amandatapes drive since the crash. The files on that drive look ok, but what do I know. Anyway, to the recovery attempt, it fails with a 'no log files found' for every backup file in the last cycle. Since I had my F10/tmp on its own partition, I mounted that cand copied the /tmp/amanda and /tmp/amanda-dbg trees to the mandriva install. Didn't help. I recall I had to do something with the paths used in my gh.cf file as mandriva didn't have, and ldconfig won't add, anything in the /usr/local tree regardless of how you add them in the ld.so.conf.d file collection. So I tried to build it once to be installed in /usr/ instead of /usr/local, but I have since groked that and put it back in the /usr/local, deleting the /usr stuffs. So I tried to recover using the cli command displayed in the header of the files, just my gh.cf from the last set of level 0's for /home, and due to the file split used there are two files for the level0 /home backup. Now, here is the problem (and this is amanda-3.2.0alpha.svn.2897 in use) [ama...@coyote slot20]$ dd if=00025.coyote._home.0 bs=32k skip=1 | /bin/gzip -dc | /usr/local/libexec/amanda/application/amgtar restore ./gh.cf 32768+0 records in 32768+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 34.0307 s, 31.6 MB/s And no indication it found gh.cf in the first file, and it wasn't written to that directory (slot20) on the amandatapes drive. Ok, repeat on remainder file: [ama...@coyote slot20]$ dd if=00026.coyote._home.0 bs=32k skip=1 | /bin/gzip -dc | /usr/local/libexec/amanda/application/amgtar restore ./gh.cf gzip: stdin: not in gzip format /bin/tar: This does not look like a tar archive /bin/tar: ./gh.cf: Not found in archive /bin/tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors What am I doing wrong?
