Dear Amanda Administrators. What dump configuration would you suggest for backing up a ZFS pool of about 300GB? Within the pool there several smaller 'filesystems'. Would you : 1. Use a script to implement ZFS snapshots and send these to the server as the DLE? 2. Use tar to backup the

Hi everyone, Ok I've had another go at compiling Amanda (2.5.2p1 is the source version I have in use on other systems at present) on my Cobalt Raq-4i system, and it's aborted when compiling dgram.c like this: start source='dgram.c' object='dgram.lo' libtool=yes \ DEPDIR=.deps

Jean-Louis- It looks like that did the trick. I'll test a little more and let you know for sure, but it correctly produced a dumps way to big, must skip incremental dumps error and ran the rest of the dumps last night after I applied the patch. Thanks! -Darrell On Apr 23, 2008, at
