I've been running amanda for several months with backups to disk (amanda version 2.4.3). Recently I've had backups failing and can't figure out what the problem may be.
Some details: - Clients and backup server are Linux (RedHat 8) - backup disk has plenty of free space (80 GB drive with only 35% in use) Below is an example report from one of the failed dumps. Nothing has recently changed that "should" affect backups. I haven't found anything to help point me in the right direction and would appreciate any points. Thanks, Chris -- AMANDA MAIL REPORT -- These dumps were to tape standard14. The next 7 tapes Amanda expects to used are: standard16, standard17, standard18, +standard19, standard20, standard21, standard22.
