Apparently not on the client, I've read every 20181031 log
containing /usr/local, no failures there. back to here I guess. Trawl
thru another 20 megs of logs, no "fail" to be found by grep for this
mornings date. Humm, go look in /amandatapes/Dailys/data, and lo, and
behold even, that backup was done!: Picked out of 65 files:
-rw------- 1 amanda amanda 13353012 Oct 31 03:44
00064.GO704._usr_local.0
Sooo, lets backup a day, and to slot-26 in that tree.
did a level0 on the 30th
did a level1 on the 29th
did a level0 on the 28th
did a level1 on the 27th
yadda yadda. So just where the hell do I look for these?
root@coyote:/amandatapes/Dailys# su amanda -c "/usr/local/sbin/amadmin
Daily due"|grep Overdue
Overdue 21 days: shop:/usr/local
Overdue 21 days: shop:/var/amanda
Overdue 21 days: lathe:/usr/local
Overdue 21 days: lathe:/var/amanda
Overdue 21 days: GO704:/var/amanda
So I look in the vtapes, and find its being done too.
Checking for lathe:/var/amanda, its there
Checking for lathe:/usr/local, they've been done too
I think I need a beer and its not even 8am yet...
