I am having problems with AMANDA doing full backups when I don't want it to. I'm wondering if there is anyway to stop it. Here is our situation:
We have about 15 servers spread across the US. They are connected by T1's. Some of the DLE's are 20GB or more and our backup window is about 12 hours during the week and the whole weekend. Assuming we get 50% compression, the fastest it could possibly get done is a little over 15 hours. So, I have a cronjob that forces full backups for Friday evening so they can run over the weekend. Our dumpcycle is 21 days and runspercycle is 15 days. AMANDA is good for most of the DLE's, but there is usually one or two through a week that will try to promote to full backup. Is there anyway around this? I have to manually kill the backup on the client server in the morning if this happens, or the backup eats up all the bandwidth and I get user complaints. I've tried 'amadmin config force-no-bump', but it doesn't seem to help and actually seems to make it worse if possible. Thanks, Dan -- ----------------------- Daniel T.
