1) This morning, my amanda report said: These dumps were to tape Indyme010. The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
Instead of "The next tape Amanda expects to use is: Indyme011." Here's the tapelist: 20030226 Indyme010 reuse 20030225 Indyme009 reuse 20030221 Indyme008 reuse 20030220 Indyme007 reuse 20030219 Indyme006 reuse 20030218 Indyme005 reuse 20030215 Indyme004 reuse 20030214 Indyme003 reuse 20030213 Indyme002 reuse 20030212 Indyme001 reuse 0 Indyme013 reuse 0 Indyme012 reuse 0 Indyme011 reuse There was a 014 and 015 in there, but I deleted them so, afetr this week, it would go back to using 001 on Monday. 2) Also, my report gave me another STRANGE backup, caused in part by stuff in /tmp and the holdingdisk changing. But: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cat /usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar /tmp /hold define dumptype root-tar { global program "GNUTAR" comment "root partitions dumped with tar" compress none index exclude list "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar" priority low } define dumptype comp-root-tar { root-tar comment "Root partitions with compression" compress client fast } [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# grep backup /etc/amanda/DailySet1/disklist backup /dev/hda1 comp-root-tar What am I doing wrong to get /tmp and /hold excluded? -- John Oliver, CCNA http://www.john-oliver.net/ Linux/UNIX/network consulting http://www.john-oliver.net/resume/ *** sendmail, Apache, ftp, DNS, spam filtering *** **** Colocation, T1s, web/email/ftp hosting ****
