So, I've got a share called web sitting on a box. Inside web are 28gb. Eventually, I'll back up the whole thing, but at the moment, I'd like to only backup a directory called cos.
If I specify cos, it seems to bomb: In my disklist: adv2.kellogg.nwu.edu //adv.kellogg.nwu.edu/web/cos nocomp-user-gnutar In my /etc/amandapass: //adv.kellogg.nwu.edu/web/cos amanda%xxxxxx But... Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: adv2.kellogg.nwu.edu: [cannot find password for //adv.kellogg.nwu.edu/web/cos] Client check: 1 host checked in 0.950 seconds, 1 problem found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3b2) Why it doesnt find it is beyond me. The sharename is /web - I'm guessing this bombs because I cant specify a directory structure after the /web ? If I remove /cos from both disklist and amandapass and have this: Disklist: adv2.kellogg.nwu.edu //adv.kellogg.nwu.edu/web nocomp-user-gnutar Amandapass: adv.kellogg.nwu.edu/web/ amanda%xxxxxx It SEEMS ok, but not really... Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- Client check: 1 host checked in 1.211 seconds, 0 problems found (brought to you by Amanda 2.4.3b2) But here's the other thing - it says 1 host checked, but I've got TWO hosts under my disklist ... so whats up with that... Whatever. So, I try running a dump anyway, and i get this: - this is a tapeless setup btw, if that makes any difference. FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: adv2.kello //adv.kellogg.nwu.edu/web lev 0 FAILED [can't switch to incremental dump] ???? The other samba share backs up fine... HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-KB OUT-KB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS KB/s -------------------------- --------------------------------- ------------ adv2.kellogg -delormdocs 1 1690 1690 -- 0:52 32.2 N/A N/A adv2.kellogg -wu.edu/web 0 FAILED --------------------------------------- For the record, adv is a unix box running samba. I know I can install the client but for right now I'm just trying to fool around and get a feel for how things work... Ideas?
