Hi, I'm testing further to try the bump to a higher level. >From my config:
bumpsize 20 MB # minimum savings (threshold) to bump level 1 ->2 bumpdays 1 # minimum days at each level bumpmult 4 # threshold = bumpsize * (level-1)**bumpmult dumpcycle 3 days # the number of days in the normal dump cycle tapecycle 4 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation What I did for my dumps 1: file of 600 Mb 2: Added a file of 12 Mb 3: added a file of 600 Mb 4: added a file of 600 Mb And here is the amadmin output: ~$ amadmin DailySet1 find localhost Scanning /data/backup... date host disk lv tape or file file status 2003-02-17 localhost /data/amanda-test/ 0 HISS3 1 OK 2003-02-17 localhost /data/amanda-test/ 1 HISS0 1 OK 2003-02-17 localhost /data/amanda-test/ 1 HISS1 1 OK 2003-02-17 localhost /data/amanda-test/ 2 HISS2 1 OK 2003-02-17 localhost /data/amanda-test/ 3 HISS3 1 OK The levels of the backups are ok, following the configuration. What I don't understand is that on the tape HISS3, I had the level three backup erase the level 0..... Shouldn't that have been prevented? Can I still recover all files (since the level 0 backup isn't available anymore)? Or could this be due to the fact that I erased files to restart from zero? (cf a previous mail ;-) Thanks for your help. Raph -- Free and Open Source Developers' European Meeting http://www.fosdem.org
