I go this message last night: NOTES: planner: Last full dump of www:sda11 on tape overwritten in 1 run.
And yet, I have plenty of level 0 backups: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ amadmin Outside find www sda11 Scanning /dumps/amanda... date host disk lv tape or file file status 2004-06-09 www sda11 2 Outside-21 10 OK 2004-06-11 www sda11 3 Outside-01 12 OK 2004-06-12 www sda11 0 Outside-02 15 OK 2004-06-15 www sda11 1 Outside-03 12 OK 2004-06-16 www sda11 2 Outside-04 13 OK 2004-06-17 www sda11 3 Outside-05 11 OK 2004-06-19 www sda11 3 Outside-07 14 OK 2004-06-22 www sda11 0 Outside-08 15 OK 2004-06-23 www sda11 1 Outside-09 13 OK 2004-06-24 www sda11 2 Outside-10 13 OK 2004-06-25 www sda11 3 Outside-11 9 OK 2004-06-26 www sda11 0 Outside-12 16 OK 2004-06-29 www sda11 1 Outside-13 12 OK 2004-06-30 www sda11 2 Outside-14 11 OK 2004-07-01 www sda11 3 Outside-15 10 OK 2004-07-02 www sda11 3 Outside-16 12 OK 2004-07-03 www sda11 3 Outside-17 11 OK 2004-07-07 www sda11 0 --- 0 FAILED (driver) [dump to tape failed] 2004-07-07 www sda11 0 --- 0 FAILED (dumper) ["data write: Connection reset by peer"] 2004-07-07 www sda11 0 Outside-19 14 [out of tape] 2004-07-08 www sda11 0 Outside-20 16 OK [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ This indicates that one was just made last night, but three others existed within the tapecycle. My amanda.conf setting are: dumpcycle 8 # the number of days in the normal dump cycle runspercycle 8 # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days tapecycle 15 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation Is this message indicating that there's no level 0 backup within the last dumpcycle tapes? This isn't a big concern; I've been just ignoring it for a couple of years now. But today, I'm curious and have the time to write about it. Also, is there something missing after the word 'tape' in the message, "planner: Last full dump of www:sda11 on tape overwritten in 1 run."? On my other operating amanda system, this is usually filled in by the tape name. Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. -Kevin ----- E.
