All level 0's (total 5) failed to even start to dump. They are waiting
to begin dumping.
Some incrementals (total 5) all failed with the error "could not connect
to data port". These five were to two hosts (radius and mail1) which had
no successful dumps. My guess here is that the network connection to
these two hosts is configured incorrectly.
The remaining incrementals (total 7) completed:
host mcs: dle's /usr/etc/perdition, /etc,
/usr/local/scripts, /var/qmail/control
host ns1: dle /etc
host samba: dle's /etc, /etc/samba
All seven are waiting to write to tape. Nothing made it to tape.
This suggests to me that your tape configuration is not working correctly.
That the level 0's did not even start suggests to me that they did not
have a holding disk to collect their dumps and needed to go directly to
tape. Which they could not do because of the above mentioned tape problem.
Some incrementals appear to have collected on the holding disk. But the
total was only 20KB. Do you have a holding disk? Is it a reasonable size?
Is your reserve set to some reasonably small percentage?
Fix your tape, holding disk, and network connections.
