No, it's because one of the DLEs was not back up.

Problems restarting zamanda windows service

2010-07-08 Thread stan
I have a few Windows machines that I use Amanda to backup. One of these
machines is giving me issues with the Zmanda service. It is crashing almost
every night. Even stranger, when I try to restart it remotely, I get the
following message:

Control service request failed.  [DOS code 0x0426]
..
Failed to start service: ZWCService [WERR_OK]

But when I RDP to it, and look in service manager, it appears to be
running.

Sugestions?

exit-handling question

2010-07-08 Thread McGraw, Robert P
Running amanda-3.1.1

I am using the following to save on tape usage

flush-threshold-dumped100 
flush-threshold-scheduled 100 
taperflush100
#taperflush0
autoflush yes

If amdump does not meet the flush values it seems to return an exit code of 20 
which is not really a problem but causes me problems when I check exit codes in 
my script.

I see the amgtar EXIT-HANDLING parameter.

EXIT-HANDLING
List which exit status of gtar are good or bad. eg. "1=GOOD 2=BAD", exit 
status of 1 will produce a good backup, exit status of 2 will give an error.

My question:

If I include "EXIT-HANDLING" "20=GOOD" in the amgtar definition will amdump not 
return an exit code of 20 but all the other exit codes will still be returned?

Thanks

Robert

Exit code to amgtar and amdump are not related.

Look at the amdump man page for exit code of amdump, you can filter the 
bit (16) you don't care about.

Greg, Dustin, Gene, Zaeem, and everyone on the list,

First off, my sincerest apologies for adding to the vacation message
problem.  I'd previously worked with my internal mail support team w/r/t
auto-responses; they'd assured me that this wouldn't happen again, and
apparently whatever fix that was applied did not help this time 'round.

I do understand the frustration regarding away emails, and I'm upset
that I've added to the problem.  In an attempt to prevent further
wrongdoing, I have attempted one final fix in my email setup to prevent
auto-responses from being generated when triggered by my inbox receiving
messages from Internet addresses.  

When next I go on vacation (the 16th), should my account generate yet
another OoO message, I would greatly appreciate if someone would let me
know (as kindly as possible, please...).  I've never seen my own
messages posted to the list (automated or otherwise), so I wouldn't
otherwise know that it's happened again.

I greatly benefit from having list messages sent to my work account, but
if it's causing discord with the list membership, then I will gladly
unsubscribe my work address and slog through on my home account.

Apologies and thanks in advance for your patience.
Steve

ZWC exclude path wildcard support question

2010-07-08 Thread Chris Nighswonger
Does ZWC support wildcards in exclude path notations?

If so, could someone provide an example of the proper syntax?

"C:\\Documents\ and\ Settings\\*\\foo\\bar" does not work in my
sandbox. (ie. This is intended to exclude "foo\bar" under every user's
documents and settings directory.)

Kind Regards,
Chris

Not from internet adresses, but from known mailing lists, (this is the only 
place I'm sending this msg) they should somehow be whitelisted so as to not 
generate the auto reply.

They do not come to the list, Steve, they come to our private email 
addresses.  How those are harvested from a list mailing I do not know, but 
they are.

That isn't needed, as long as you don't mind fielding a few please stop 
messages from us. ;-)

Does your IT dept know that the above disclaimer has absolutely no force of 
law behind it and would be dismissed out of hand by any court that has a 
clue?  Just like my sig below, many would consider it spam.
