After this mornings run, its better again: amanda@coyote:/root$ /usr/local/sbin/amadmin Daily balance due-date #fs orig MB out MB balance ---------------------------------------------- 11/11 Sun 1 10886 10886 -35.8% 11/12 Mon 1 32963 7875 -53.6% 11/13 Tue 1 7688 7688 -54.7% 11/14 Wed 2 22109 22109 +30.4% 11/15 Thu 4 75027 46623 +175.0% 11/16 Fri 6 8257 6109 -64.0% 11/17 Sat 29 14034 8932 -47.3% 11/18 Sun 4 21281 16842 -0.7% 11/19 Mon 18 34599 17188 +1.4% 11/20 Tue 1 49240 25295 +49.2% ---------------------------------------------- TOTAL 67 276084 169547 16954 (estimated 10 runs per dumpcycle) And it must be calculating the balance based on the original size, not the compressed size (out MB), that growing Tuesday the 20th is still on one vtape, but if unchanged, Thu 15nth will still use a 2nd vtape. And from the emailed report, much less "churn". So I'm thinking we may have solved a goodly part of my planner complaints at the same time. -------------- NOTES: planner: Incremental of coyote:/usr/local bumped to level 2. planner: Incremental of picnc:/ bumped to level 2. taper: tape Dailys-41 kb 26949743 fm 67 [OK] --------------- And I woke up to recycle some water, so I'm going back to bed till a more civilized time of the day. :) Copyright 2018 by Maurice E.
