[Solved]Re: Resend: ? path of config file for amrecover
I finally figure our the cause of the problem is that in /etc/inetd.conf, the entries there still pointed to old location. So each time amrecover started, inetd triggered the old daemon so that it tried to find something in old directories. Thanks so much.

Degraded mode is a mode where no level 0, full dumps, are performed. Only incrementals are done. Of course it is not possible to do incrementals only on new, never dumped, DLE's. They must get a level 0 first. I guess, if you really wanted to mimic degraded mode you could set the dumptype options like increment only or strategy no-full. I forget the actual names. Why do you want to force degraded mode? Have you checked your holding disk for size, permissions, and the amanda.conf parameter reserve? It defaults to 100% (i.e. 100% for degraded mode, none for normal mode) which doesn't sound like what you want. -- Jon H.

Does it? If not, try to figure out the error message using FAQ-O-Matic or the list archives (both accessible via www.amanda.org). If you still can't get it, come back here with the *exact* error message and any relevant files from /tmp/amanda. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
Re: how to initiate amanda amdump ?
Thanks Joshua. It works by touch it. But why there are files amandates.c and amandates.h, are they suppose to be compiled and distributed ? - spike:root:#find / -name amandat* /etc/amandates /myapp/amanda-2.4.4p1/client-src/amandates.h /myapp/amanda-2.4.4p1/client-src/amandates.c /myapp/amanda-2.4.4p1/client-src/.deps/amandates.Plo /myapp/amanda-2.4.4p1/client-src/amandates.o /myapp/amanda-2.4.4p1/client-src/amandates.lo --- Thanks Allen Liu IP Application Design and Engineering Bell Canada (613) 781-7368, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1240 -160 Elgin St, Ottawa,ON, K2P 2C4 - Original Message - From: Joshua Baker-LePain [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Allen Liu --- work [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 2:12 PM Subject: Re: how to initiate amanda amdump ?
