About 2 weeks ago I asked the following:
> I'm backing up a single W2K machine to my tape server. > There are 4 partitions on the windows box. Some nights > al 4 partitions are processed normally. Most nights > 1 or more of the partitions fail with the query > "host offline?" which obviously it is not as the other > partitions are backing up. I got a reply from Chris Marble that helped: > I'd try cranking down maxdumps for just that host. See if that helps. Rather than change the maxdumps parameter (which probably would have solved the problem) I chose to use the "spindle" feature and indicate each of the 4 partitions are on the "same spindle". Amanda limits the number of dumps on each spindle to 1 at a time. Since the change 10 days ago, not a single "offline" partition. Thanks Chris! -- Jon H.
