in my amanda.conf file I have the line: reserve 10 # percent which as I read the comments, means that amanda will still do full backups, if they'll fit in the other 90% of the 80GB disk I'm using as a 'holding' disk.
You've got it backwards, the 10% you reserved is used for fulls, the other 90% is used for incrementals. Frank
however, when the dump runs, I get the ever-popular: lev 0 FAILED [dumps too big, but cannot incremental dump skip-incr disk] error for a number of filesystems that didn't make it onto tape. :( (even tho the disk being backed up is <500MB, and should happily fit in the 40+GB of space on the holding disk that ought to be available in any case) What I'm trying for here, is to have the backup dump as much to tape as it can, and then leave the rest on disk, so I can run amflush the next morning when I come in. (we don't have a tape changer, and backups need to be automated, so chg-manual isn't an option as I understand its usage). is there some setting that I'm missing, to tell amanda "don't go into degraded mode when dumping to disk after a tape error?"
