[ BUG? ] Running out of disk space...

2000-12-19 Thread David Klasinc
Banzai! I upgraded to 2.4.2 and I noticed that if dump won't fit on one disk that amdump will go into endless loop trying to do a backup. If this was already mentioned I apologize for spam. :) This is a small part of amdump log (it was running like this whole night): driver: result time

2000-12-19 Thread Jesper Holm Olsen
Hi! We're considering swithing to Amanda for backup. We have an Exabyte 480 Tape Library with 4 tape drives, a robot tape-changer and a barcode reader. Has anyone got any experience with using Amanda together with a barcode reader? From the documentation it seems like 'amlabel' is used only to

How to avoid 'socket ignored' if using GNUTAR?

2000-12-19 Thread Thomas Ziegler
I always get messages like ? gtar: ./var/spool/postfix/private/bounce: socket ignored in the daily amanda mail report. Is there a way to tell gtar not to complain about sockets instead of just excluding them from the backup? Thanks in advance, Thomas -- Dr.-Ing. Thomas Ziegler

Tape Type: SLR-6

2000-12-19 Thread Toni Mueller
Hello, I'm under the impression that the tape type list in Amanda is very short, especially when thinking of current drives... Ok, here is one for the popular SLR-6 drives (aka SLR-24). I didn't test this, it's only from spec (yet). define tapetype SLR6-24 { comment "SLR6-24" length

Re: AMDUMP errors

2000-12-19 Thread David Lloyd
Hmm... couple of choices to fix this: You could just let it ride, knowing that that disk isn't getting backed up, and sometime in the next few tapes, AMANDA might have enough space (because other disks backups get bumped to higher incremental levels) to do the level 0 backup; OR, you could

You are probably right about the first problem, it should be permissions. You can check the permissions of the disk device with the command `ls -l /dev/hda`. The amanda backup user, or a group the amanda backup user is a member of, needs to have read access to this device to back it up.
