Re: Backup time

Olivier Is amanda doing compression? I backed up some really slow Suns and doing local compression totally killed the performance of the backup. Also the first time you do a backup of a system it does a level 0 (full) backup. Also I find its better to add one server a day to amanda so you

Re: Do I get this right ?

Why doesn't Amanda use the following portable, non-destructive write test: read label; amlabel -f config label ... AFAIK the label has a fixed size of 64kB ... It's 32 KBytes, but be that as it may ... so writing it over itself should not change a single byte. ... It doesn't change

Re: Backup time

The Bandwith I put in the amanda config is 5000 kbitsec ... The bandwidth number in Amanda has very little to do with how fast it will actually transfer data (which is confusing, to put it mildly :-). When Amanda estimates how large each dump is, it also looks at how fast they ran in the past

Backing up to disk (tapeless operation)

Reading over the documentation, I have been unable to discern how, or even if, one would backup clients directly to disk. I am fortunate to have the luxury of having copious amounts of disk space and would prefer to not deal with tapes at all. If I have configured a filesystem for each client

Re: backups were fine, but all fail now

John: I gotta thank you for your most excellent response! :-) You are correct.. some of the files were owned by operator:wheel while the 'latest' were amanda:amanda. I changed everything to amanda:amanda and rem'd out some of the disks in the disklist file, and we'll see what happens tomorrow.
