Hello,
My backups have not been runnig for some time due to a combination of
work from home and general power failure.
Now that I have restarted it, it fails for all the DLE with an error
like below:
localhost / lev 0 FAILED [dumps too big, 171153 KB, but cannot
incremental dump skip-incr disk]
localhost /var lev 1 FAILED [dumps way too big, 124813 KB, must skip
incremental dumps]
I have 1.6 TB in holding disk and no DLE is bigger than 1.1 TB, so any
DLE should fit inside the holding disk and inside the tapes of one run.
I know there is a way for Amanda to prioritize the DLE, but I am not
sure what configuration I should use.
I would start by only dumping selected DLEs or even a single one:
amdump config somehost /directory
This should get your runs into balance step by step (run the biggest
ones separate at first, later runs might work with full set of DLEs).
btw: it's recommended NOT to use "localhost" in disklist. There's even
an FAQ for that.
