Hello there, I'm trying to backup our Netapp filer using Amanda. I'm using the modified dump program for Netapp obtained from the following article:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~johnpc/amanda-netapp.html but still everytime the amanda script runs it is unable to write to tape & the AMANDA report gives the following summary: FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: tapeserver /dev/netapp/comstock lev 0 FAILED [no backup size line] tapeserver /dev/netapp/etc lev 0 FAILED [no backup size line] The disklist has the following entry for the netapp: tapeserver /dev/netapp/etc netapp tapeserver /dev/netapp/home netapp where "netapp" is a dumptype defined as follows: define dumptype netapp { global comment "no compress, priority high" compress none priority high record no index } I can see that Amanda is being able to execute the dump program on the filer ( I can see dump files being temporarily written to the holding directory ) but for some reason it is not being able to write to tape. However there is no tape error. And when I look at the source code in sendbackup.c, the error "no backup size line" is a result of condition dump_size == -1 What could be the cause of this error ? Is it bcoz Amanda is not being able to match certain patterns from the output of the Netapp dump? Please do let me know with whatever feedback or suggestions you might have. Thanks, Ashwin.
