Greetings; I'm trying to setup a backup of the 9 iso's for the FC3RC1 install I just dl'd from fedora.
Here is the revelant section of my disklist: coyote /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-disc1.iso coyote-tar-iso 1 local coyote /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-disk2.iso coyote-tar-iso 1 local coyote /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-disk3.iso coyote-tar-iso 1 local coyote /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-disk4.iso coyote-tar-iso 1 local coyote /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.iso coyote-tar-iso 1 local coyote /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk2.iso coyote-tar-iso 1 local coyote /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk3.iso coyote-tar-iso 1 local coyote /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk4.iso coyote-tar-iso 1 local coyote /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-rescuecd.iso coyote-tar-iso 1 local Here are the revelant sections of my amanda.conf: define dumptype root-tar { global program "GNUTAR" comment "root partitions dumped with tar" compress none priority low } define dumptype coyote-tar-iso { root-tar # no exclude file named for this dumptype # the same directory in the list also has an ./*.iso exclude # named in the file named in its dumptype } Here is an ls -l of that directory grepped for those files: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 630525952 Oct 25 07:46 FC3-i386-disc1.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 669636608 Oct 25 07:48 FC3-i386-disc2.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 649390080 Oct 25 07:50 FC3-i386-disc3.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 439828480 Oct 25 06:06 FC3-i386-disc4.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79904768 Oct 25 10:30 FC3-i386-rescuecd.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 589946880 Oct 25 13:02 FC3-i386-SRPMS-disc1.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 589944832 Oct 25 19:32 FC3-i386-SRPMS-disc2.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 589934592 Oct 25 22:36 FC3-i386-SRPMS-disc3.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 589946880 Oct 26 11:21 FC3-i386-SRPMS-disc4.iso And finally, the puzzle, amchecks output: Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check -------------------------------- ERROR: coyote: [could not access /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk4.iso (/usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk4.iso): No such file or directory] ERROR: coyote: [could not access /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk3.iso (/usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk3.iso): No such file or directory] ERROR: coyote: [could not access /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk2.iso (/usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk2.iso): No such file or directory] ERROR: coyote: [could not access /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk1.iso (/usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-SRPMS-disk1.iso): No such file or directory] ERROR: coyote: [could not access /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-disk4.iso (/usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-disk4.iso): No such file or directory] ERROR: coyote: [could not access /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-disk3.iso (/usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-disk3.iso): No such file or directory] ERROR: coyote: [could not access /usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-disk2.iso (/usr/dlds-misc/FC3-i386-disk2.iso): No such file or directory] Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.208 seconds, 7 problems found It found the rescuecd, and the installing disk1 but not the others for a total of 7 errors out of nine files named.
