Hi I never had problems with amanada, been using it for more than 15 years (i think) Had to delete one machine that had only two purposes: behind DMZ firewall and amanda host. Due to changes of my setup I did not need the firewall anymore so I moved the amanda tape host to another existing machine. Had trouble ever since.
Now I get the following error: "no backup size line", in the log it looks like this FAIL dumper 192.168.0.1 /boot 20171024230002 1 [no backup size line] sendbackup: start [192.168.0.1:/boot level 1] sendbackup: info BACKUP=/bin/tar sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/tar -xpGf - ... sendbackup: info end sendbackup: error [no backup size line] PARTIAL chunker 192.168.0.1 /boot 20171024230002 1 [sec 0.174 kb 11 kps 246.4] Looking at this https://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Sendbackup_error:_no_backup_size_line I have a few options: /var too small - cannot be, on all machines I have not even reached 50%. gnutar is 2:1.23-15.el6_8 The directory definitely exists ... I would not be able to boot. But I also do not know how to check this: GNU tar state file /var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists/XYZSOMETHING.new is corrupted. It's getting frustrating now. So anyone have other ideas why I get this error?
