Hi again ;-)
Reading the text of the amadmin man page and its corresponding example, does it mean that the backup of the 2000-11-06 is still on the holding disk disk (as the tape or file is a tape label:000107) but that the one of 2000-11-07 was already saved on tape? Aren't the backups put on that chronologically? Just to reassure you, I'm going to put a doc online describing all my discoveries so that other new users could look at it ;-) Thanks Raph >From the man page Locate backup images of /var from machine-c. The tape or file col umn displays either a tape label or a filename depending on whether the image is on tape or is still in the holding disk. If the image is on tape, the file column tells you which file on the tape has the image (file number zero is a tape label). This column shows zero and is not meaningful if the image is still in the holding disk. The status column tells you whether the backup was success ful or had some type of error. $ amadmin DailySet1 find machine-c /var date host disk lv tape or file file st 2000-11-09 machine-c /var 0 000110 9 OK 2000-11-08 machine-c /var 2 000109 2 OK 2000-11-07 machine-c /var 2 /amanda/20001107/machine-c._var.2 0 OK 2000-11-06 machine-c /var 2 000107 2 OK 2000-11-05 machine-c /var 2 000106 3 OK 2000-11-04 machine-c /var 2 000105 2 OK 2000-11-03 machine-c /var 2 000104 2 OK 2000-11-02 machine-c /var 2 000103 2 OK 2000-11-01 machine-c /var 1 000102 5 OK 2000-10-31 machine-c /var 1 000101 3 OK -- Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting http://www.fosdem.org
