predicting full dumps

2001-06-07 Thread Jonathan Dill
Does anyone have any scripts, or any tricks that I could use to try to predict what full dumps are coming due? I would like to be able to force a bunch of full dumps on the weekend, when the total time of the run is not an issue, so that the load should be a little lighter during the week.

Not sure it is possible : the dumps queue is created when you launch amdump, and Amanda looks at which dumps it can move (to optimize) or it has to move (because of space problems) just before starting the dumps when you launch amdump Config (see the logs). Dexter On Thursday 07 June 2001

You can figure out what's coming due by looking at 'amadmin config balance'. You can't always predict what might get promoted by planner, but if you do what you're suggesting and force enough filesystems to make the total data size for the run greater than average, planner won't promote

The best way I can think of doing this (I'm far from an expert with amanda, but I'm learning) is set up one cron with your normal configuration, then setup another configuration that is set to do full dumps always, and have another cron run that on the weekend. That seems to be the easiest way

Hi guys, Actually, as Joshua pointed out, amadmin config due does exactly what I want--It gives you a nice list saying which dumps are overdue, what dumps are due today, and how many days until other dumps are due. Forcing dumps that are overdue, due today, or that are due in a day or two would

Ok, now I'm stumped. I have two FBSD 4.3 machines, one inside and one outside a firewall. I compiled amanda2.4.2p2 on the internal machine and it checks out fine. So, I tarred up libexec, lib/liba*, and sbin/am*, put it on the external machine, HUP'd inetd and poof, it still doesn't work.

Ok, this was a weird one. It turned out to be due to tcpwrappers. I just saw a recent post suggesting it. It's odd that inetd closed the port, but I would guess that that might be caused because the protocol is udp instead of tcp? Put this in a FAQ somewhere! -doug On Thu, 7 Jun 2001, Doug

Why the two different files today? Did I reach a file size limit? You reached the holding disk chunksize limit (see the amanda(8) man page). The second file is a continuation of the first. Andrew Hall John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
