This may be related to our backup problems described earlier:
I just noticed that during a dump running just now, I have
# ps -f -C gzip UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD amanda 3064 769 0 17:18 pts/5 00:00:00 /bin/gzip --best amanda 3129 773 0 17:44 pts/5 00:00:00 /bin/gzip --best
on the Amanda server. Parents are
# ps -f -p 769 -p 773 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD amanda 769 743 0 12:44 pts/5 00:00:00 dumper0 ks/incr amanda 773 743 0 12:44 pts/5 00:00:00 dumper2 ks/incr
what's strange about this, is that I'm neither using server compression, nor the "best" compress options.
My dumptype setup is (this is for my incremental-only backup to harddisk):
define dumptype global { comment "Global definitions" index yes compress client fast strategy incronly skip-full }
define dumptype full-tar { global program "GNUTAR" comment "Dump of files via tar" priority high exclude list optional ".amanda.excludes" }
Any ideas why I get these processes?
