I have a configuration question for the list: I have a backup server that is currently only backing itself up. It has two tape devices: - 1 DLT 2000 - 1 DDS2 (12 tape changer)
I would like to have all of the Full (0 level) backups go to the DLT and all of the Incremental backups go to the DDS2 changer. Is this feasible? I currently have 2 configurations called Full and Incr - Full - Points to DLT as tape device - Does only 0 level backups (using dumpcycle 0 and always-full) - Incr - points to DDS2 changer as tape device - does only incremental backups - mtx already working well I am using GNUTAR for both configurations. The Full backups work great, however the Incr backups fail with: SETTING UP FOR ESTIMATES... setting up estimates for hocus:/ hocus:/ overdue 11841 days for level 0 setup_estimate: hocus:/: command 0, options: last_level -1 next_level0 -11841 level_days 0 getting estimates 0 (0) -1 (-1) -1 (-1) setting up estimates for hocus:/boot hocus:/boot overdue 11841 days for level 0 setup_estimate: hocus:/boot: command 0, options: last_level -1 next_level0 -11841 level_days 0 getting estimates 0 (0) -1 (-1) -1 (-1) setting up estimates for hocus:/opt hocus:/opt overdue 11841 days for level 0 setup_estimate: hocus:/opt: command 0, options: last_level -1 next_level0 -11841 level_days 0 getting estimates 0 (0) -1 (-1) -1 (-1) setting up estimates for hocus:/usr hocus:/usr overdue 11841 days for level 0 setup_estimate: hocus:/usr: command 0, options: last_level -1 next_level0 -11841 level_days 0 getting estimates 0 (0) -1 (-1) -1 (-1) setting up estimates for hocus:/var hocus:/var overdue 11841 days for level 0 setup_estimate: hocus:/var: command 0, options: last_level -1 next_level0 -11841 level_days 0 getting estimates 0 (0) -1 (-1) -1 (-1) setting up estimates took 0.001 secs GETTING ESTIMATES... taper: pid 2398 executable taper version 2.4.3b3 taper: page size is 4096 taper: buffer size is 32768 taper: buffer[00] at 0x401a4000 taper: buffer[01] at 0x401ac000 taper: buffer[02] at 0x401b4000 taper: buffer[03] at 0x401bc000 taper: buffer[04] at 0x401c4000 taper: buffer[05] at 0x401cc000 taper: buffer[06] at 0x401d4000 taper: buffer[07] at 0x401dc000 taper: buffer[08] at 0x401e4000 taper: buffer[09] at 0x401ec000 taper: buffer[10] at 0x401f4000 taper: buffer[11] at 0x401fc000 taper: buffer[12] at 0x40204000 taper: buffer[13] at 0x4020c000 taper: buffer[14] at 0x40214000 taper: buffer[15] at 0x4021c000 taper: buffer[16] at 0x40224000 taper: buffer[17] at 0x4022c000 taper: buffer[18] at 0x40234000 taper: buffer[19] at 0x4023c000 taper: buffer structures at 0x40244000 for 240 bytes error result for host hocus disk /var: missing estimate error result for host hocus disk /usr: missing estimate error result for host hocus disk /opt: missing estimate error result for host hocus disk /boot: missing estimate error result for host hocus disk /: missing estimate getting estimates took 0.049 secs FAILED QUEUE: 0: hocus /var 1: hocus /usr 2: hocus /opt 3: hocus /boot 4: hocus / DONE QUEUE: empty ANALYZING ESTIMATES... planner: FAILED hocus /var 20020603 0 [missing result for /var in hocus response] planner: FAILED hocus /usr 20020603 0 [missing result for /usr in hocus response] planner: FAILED hocus /opt 20020603 0 [missing result for /opt in hocus response] planner: FAILED hocus /boot 20020603 0 [missing result for /boot in hocus response] planner: FAILED hocus / 20020603 0 [missing result for / in hocus response] INITIAL SCHEDULE (size 264):
