Hi everybody :D This is my first post in this forum and maybe not the last. I'm a newbie using Amanda and I'm facing a problem with my backup. I'm working with Amanda 2.5.2p1.1 under RHEL 3. My backup strategy is really simple : - full backup every day on 1 tape - dumpcycle : 2 weeks - tapecycle : 12 tapes
The first cycle went ok but then when a tape has to be overwritten, I get the following message : > These dumps were to tape DailySet-05. > *** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [No more writable valid tape found]. > Some dumps may have been left in the holding disk. > Run amflush to flush them to tape. > The next tape Amanda expects to use is: DailySet-06. > > FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY: > asmtls2.sda-akka.net /opt/cvsroot/ lev 0 > FAILED [out of tape] > asmtls2.sda-akka.net /opt/cvsroot/ lev 0 > FAILED [data write: Broken pipe] > asmtls2.sda-akka.net /opt/cvsroot/ lev 0 > FAILED [dump to tape failed] > asmtls1.sda-akka.net /home/fer/ lev 1 > FAILED [no more holding disk space] > asmtls1.sda-akka.net /UserBig/CVS_WORKSPACES/fer_cvs_workspaces/ lev 1 > FAILED [no more holding disk space] > > > STATISTICS: > Total Full Incr. > -------- -------- -------- > Estimate Time (hrs:min) 0:00 > Run Time (hrs:min) 2:58 > Dump Time (hrs:min) 2:11 2:11 0:00 > Output Size (meg) 1113.5 1113.5 0.0 > Original Size (meg) 1113.5 1113.5 0.0 > Avg Compressed Size (%) -- -- -- > Filesystems Dumped 1 1 0 > Avg Dump Rate (k/s) 145.0 145.0 -- > > Tape Time (hrs:min) 2:11 2:11 0:00 > Tape Size (meg) 1113.5 1113.5 0.0 > Tape Used (%) 28.8 28.8 0.0 > Filesystems Taped 1 1 0 > > Chunks Taped 0 0 0 > Avg Tp Write Rate (k/s) 144.9 144.9 -- > > USAGE BY TAPE: > Label Time Size % Nb Nc > DailySet-05 2:11 1140224K 28.8 1 0 > > > FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS: > > /-- asmtls2.sda-akka.net /opt/cvsroot/ lev 0 FAILED [data write: Broken > pipe] > sendbackup: start [asmtls2.sda-akka.net:/opt/cvsroot/ level 0] > sendbackup: info BACKUP=/bin/tar > sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/tar -xpGf - ... > sendbackup: info end > \-------- > > > NOTES: > taper: tape DailySet-05 kb 1783648 fm 2 writing file: No space left on > device > > > DUMP SUMMARY: > DUMPER STATS TAPER > STATS > HOSTNAME DISK L ORIG-KB OUT-KB COMP% MMM:SS KB/s MMM:SS > KB/s > ------------------------------- ------------------------------------- > ------------- > asmtls1.sd -r_cvs_workspaces/ 1 FAILED > -------------------------------------------- > asmtls1.sd /UserBig/fer/ 0 1140200 1140224 -- 131:06 144.9 131:06 > 144.9 > asmtls1.sd /home/fer/ 1 FAILED > -------------------------------------------- > asmtls2.sd /opt/cvsroot/ 0 FAILED > -------------------------------------------- > > (brought to you by Amanda version 2.5.2p1) > On the forum, I found people facing the same problem and the error was related to the tapecycle. Mine is 12 and I have 12 reusable tapes. Here is the tapelist from today, after the backup failure of last night: > 20081219 DailySet-05 reuse > 20081217 DailySet-04 reuse > 20081216 DailySet-03 reuse > 20081211 DailySet-02 reuse > 20081210 DailySet-01 reuse > 20081209 DailySet-12 reuse > 20081204 DailySet-11 reuse > 20081202 DailySet-10 reuse > 20081201 DailySet-09 reuse > 20081128 DailySet-08 reuse > 20081127 DailySet-07 reuse > 20081126 DailySet-06 reuse > >From what I see, the tape 05 was the one to use and the rule "the tape can't >be used again before (tapecycle-1) other tapes are used, is respected". So I don't have any clue how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the english mistakes.
