Hi,
I am getting confused (so what's new) about the first three lines a
report emailed by amdump sends me. I did several dumps in a row and
got these results.
These dumps were to tape DAILY-3.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DAILY-14.
The next new tape already labelled is: DAILY-4.
These dumps were to tape DAILY-4.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DAILY-14.
The next new tape already labelled is: DAILY-5.
These dumps were to tape DAILY-1.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DAILY-14.
The next new tape already labelled is: DAILY-5.
Notice that Amanda does not use DIALY-14 (I had labeled and formatted
14 tapes in the beginning and the first dump I did on this went to
that tape). Later I changed the tapecycle to 4 (since I am still
testing, I decided having to wait 14 days to see how it all pans out
is a bit long).
The fact that it doesn't use DIALY-5 is fine since the tapecycle is
only 4 long and I did label 14 tapes.
So is the take-home message that I should just ignore that second
line about the next tape Amanda expects to use?
