Along with several Linux boxes, I have one Windows NT 4 server which I'm using amanda to back up using tar over samba. The DLEs, in case anyone's curious, are simply:
peterbilt //server/e$ comp-high-tar peterbilt //server/f$ comp-high-tar (peterbilt is the tapehost, and, yes, some unimaginative soul actually did name the NT box "server" before I got here.) For whatever reason, these two DLEs come up strange pretty regularly, maybe 70-80% of the time, and occasionally fail. I do keep 3 weeks of tape, so I always have at least _a_ backup of each, but it would be nice to reliably get them every night. What can I do to get them to start behaving properly? The failed/strange dump reports tend to be extremely long, but here's one of the shorter ones as an example: /-- peterbilt //server/f$ lev 1 STRANGE sendbackup: start [peterbilt://server/f$ level 1] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/bin/smbclient sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/usr/bin/smbclient -f... - sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz sendbackup: info end | added interface ip=192.168.23.31 bcast=192.168.23.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 | directory \LM600\ ?
