Hello List, when i try to backup to DVD-RAM i get this error:
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: server md1 lev 0 FAILED [dump larger than tape, 30864683 KB, but cannot incremental dump new disk] How can i tell amanda to split it up in 4500MB slices and write them one by one to DVD-RAM? Here are the instresting config settings: --------------------------------------------- dumpuser "root" # the user to run dumps under inparallel 2 # maximum dumpers that will run in parallel netusage 1024 # maximum net bandwidth for Amanda, in KB per sec dumpcycle 4 weeks # the number of days in the normal dump cycle tapecycle 8 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation bumpsize 20 MB # minimum savings (threshold) to bump level 1 -> 2 bumpdays 1 # minimum days at each level bumpmult 4 # threshold = bumpsize * (level-1)**bumpmult runtapes 1 # explained in WHATS.NEW tapedev "file:/media/dvdram" # Linux @ tuck, important: norewinding tapetype DVD47G # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes below) labelstr "^daily-[0-9][0-9]*$" # label constraint regex: all tapes must match diskdir "/backup/tmp" # where the holding disk is disksize 5000 MB # how much space can we use on it infofile "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/curinfo" # database filename logfile "/var/log/amanda/DailySet1/log" # log filename indexdir "/var/lib/amanda/DailySet1/index" holdingdisk hd1 { comment "main holding disk" directory "/backup/tmp/" # where the holding disk is use 5000 Mb } define tapetype DVD47G { length 4350 MB filemark 4KB } Any ideas?
