tar escaping into a different file system

2006-07-31 Thread Geert Uytterhoeven
Finally I'm getting back on track after the tar 1.15.91-2 incremental changes. Due to this issue and my yearly holidays, my backups are long overdue and Amanda likes to do lots of level 0s (as expected). I just noticed this in the mail log of last night's backup: | /-- anakin / lev 0 FAILED

Correct use of amflush

2006-07-31 Thread Joe Donner (sent by Nabble.com)
Hi, I'd appreciate some advice on what is regarded as the correct usage of amflush and the tapes to use with amflush. If the need to run amflush occurs, then amanda tells you which tape to use next, or that you can use a new tape. My question is simply this: Is it acceptable to use the next

Aha - thanks for that! That was kind of what I was wondering about - didn't realise that amanda will add it to the rotation, so I thought what happens to the tape then... I wonder - how will amanda handle labelling the new tape, then? Will you be asked to label it first, manually, or does

Still struggling with L0

2006-07-31 Thread Alan Pearson
Guys I'm have _real_ trouble trying to force Amanda to do a L0 backup of the system that was effected by Amanda wiping out the last L0. I've tried to force a L0 backup of it, like : amadmin DailySet1 force qtvpdc.lab:/Shares amadmin: qtvpdc.lab:/Shares is set to a forced level 0 at next run.

The little bit of experience I have of amanda has showed me that dumpcycle 0 in amanda.conf will force a level 0 (full) dump. I've been running amanda in a test lab with that setting before going production with incremental backups. Probably not the correct way of doing it in your case, but

Recovering files from DVD-recorded backup
