Hello mailinglist, some days ago I had a problem with my dump: It was too large to fit on a tape. You told me to compress with server fast or server best. I did so, but the error occurred again. So I tried to backup from one server with rsync and backup the local files with amdump. Again: "localhost /backup lev 6 FAILED [dump larger than tape, skipping incremental] planner: FATAL cannot fit anything on tape, bailing out" woah...
I looked at my /backup-directory and found different files on /backup/timberley. Each of them has a size of about 1.3 GB. The whole directory has got 33 GB - no, that won't fit on a DDS3-tape I' m afraid :-) The files seem to be amanda-archives: zeus:/backup/timberley # ls . .. 20020209 20020214 20020215 20020216 20020302 20020305 20020306 20020307 20020308 20020309 20020312 20020314 some of this direcroties are empty, but some......: -rw------- 1 amanda disk 1073741824 Mar 12 01:12 localhost._backup.6.7 -rw------- 1 amanda disk 1073741824 Mar 12 01:15 localhost._backup.6.8 -rw------- 1 amanda disk 1073741824 Mar 12 01:19 localhost._backup.6.9 Does the server possibly NOT erase the archives amanda saved? Can I remove them by a script or will I get in trouble when I try to restore? Thank you very much! Greetings, Leonie Nuenighoff Mit freundlichen Grüßen r-tec IT Systeme GmbH i.A.
