default dumptype DUMP
Hi, Does DUMP dumptype have any properties that can be redefined ? I need to follwing task: stop the application, dettach the mirror, ufsdump attach the mirror This can be done with gtar but can this be done with native backup tools as well ? I Thanks Gunnar Gunnarsson
ZWC template not applying as expected
I have a template setup in ZWC which contains the single entry: "C:\Documents and Settings". The corresponding DLE is: foo.bar.com "c:" zwc-compress The problem is that Amanda then backs up the entire C drive rather than just the "Documents and Settings" folder. What is it I'm missing? Kind Regards, Chris
Re: ZWC template not applying as expected
Chris, I'd puzzeled over that too. I believe that the templates are for amanda servers, you are only running the client and the tempate is never used for anything. My (unix based) dislist files contain dle's that look like foo c:/database-backups zwc-compress foo c:/users-data1 zwc-compress foo c:/users-data2 zwc-compress Rather than a template that contains the 3 entries.

A look at a tcpdump does show that the diskdevice in the DLE is passed to the zwc and the next piece of traffic is the estimated size of the backup of that device. So template.txt appears to be ignored. It seems that if it is not meant to be used it should be removed from the community version or at least documented as such. > > My (unix based) dislist files contain dle's that look like > foo c:/database-backups zwc-compress > foo c:/users-data1 zwc-compress > foo c:/users-data2 zwc-compress > > Rather than a template that contains the 3 entries. This is what I have resorted to for the time being as well. Thanks for the response. Kind Regards, Chris

I Haven't seen an answer to this yet, so I'll hazard a comment and question. One approach is to do a wrapper, as in http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Backup_client#Chris_Hoogendyk.27s_Example, where I'm doing an fssnap before the ufsdump and following it with deleting the snapshot. You could modify it to fit your needs. That wrapper also has a stop application for xntpd (which is a real time application) when doing an fssnap of the root partition because of a bug in fssnap. The advantage of the snapshot is that you only have to stop your application for the extremely brief time it takes to do the snapshot. Then you start your application and proceed with the ufsdump of the snapshot. In your sequence above, I don't know what your application is or whether it would have to be down during the entire ufsdump or stopped and started for each dettach/attach. The newer releases of Amanda probably have some cleaner ways (than wrapper) of dealing with all that, but I haven't jumped into it quite yet. Maybe someone else can offer comments.

Re: ZWC template not applying as expected
Well, Google turned up this: http://forums.zmanda.com/showthread.php?t=2588 But trying to apply it to my DLE results in an "Invalid disk list entry. For taking backup of a single file use templates." Sort of ironic considering I *am* trying to use a template. ;-) On Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 1:17 PM, Brian Cuttler wrote: > > Chris, > > Glad I was able to help.

I just did a brand new installation of CentOS 5.5 (an RHEL 5.5 clone),
updated it ("yum update") and pulled in
amanda-backup_server-3.1.0-1.rhel5.i386.rpm. I installed like so:

large level 1 dumps
Our server is Solaris 10/sparc and is running amanda 2.4.4 and tar (GNU tar) 1.17. We have a fairly large partition [clep/tmp/amanda] df -hl /export/zone Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s6 1.1T 411G 746G36%/export/zone that is giving virtually a level 0 dump when running a level 1. The ZFS/snapshot issue is not in play here [where the device id is different each day because of the snapshots] as this is a UFS partition and we are not using snapshots. But we were wondering if there was some similar issue, or how we could gain further insight into the file selection criteria causing the level 1 dumps to be so large. Clearly most of the files on the partition are static... thank you, Brian --- Brian R Cuttler brian.cutt...@wadsworth.org Computer Systems Support(v) 518 486-1697 Wadsworth Center(f) 518 473-6384 NYS Department of HealthHelp Desk 518 473-0773 IMPORTANT NOTICE: This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential or sensitive information which is, or may be, legally privileged or otherwise protected by law from further disclosure.

What I'm really looking for is a way for certain users to manage their own backups. Is this the wrong way to go about it? Chris

Well, it was changed in this commit: commit 1a2051ece2e27fea65b9bf05dac235a7e358f52a Author: Jean-Louis Martineau Date: Thu Dec 17 17:41:01 2009 + * common-src/conffile.c: etimeout must be positive. * common-src/protocol.c: Fix possible timeout of 0. git-svn-id: https://amanda.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/amanda/amanda/tr...@2358 a8d146d6-cc15-0410-8900-af154a0219e0 I don't remember the motivation for the change, though - maybe JLM does.

So what's happening here is that amidxtaped is looking for the
dumpfile at that particular label:filenum, and then making sure it
finds all of the required parts of that dump. The error occurs when
the label:filenum pairs specified cover more than one dumpfile. With
only one filenum specified, it shouldn't be able to find more than one
dump.
Do you happen to have multiple volumes with that label? That would be
weird, but worth asking.
Could you edit up perl/Amanda/Recovery/Planner.pm as follows:
400 my @filelist = @{$params{'filelist'}};
401 while (@filelist) {
402 my $label = shift @filelist;
Amanda::Debug::debug("LABEL $label");
403 push @labels, $label;
404 $files{$label} = shift @filelist;
Amanda::Debug::debug("FILES " . join(" ", @{$files{$label}}));
405 }
...
419 my %dumps = map { my $d = $_->{'dump'}; ($d, $d) } @parts;
use Data::Dumper;
Amanda::Debug::debug("".Dumper([ %dumps ]);
420 my @dumps = values %dumps;
and try again?
