Force a level 0 after a FAILED?
I am running into some problems with Amanda and full backups. We have amanda using samba to backup a number of PC's. Sometimes, the users will power off their machine for the night, or for whatever other reason the backup will reach a FAILED status. When this happens on a level 0, I would think that it would try to do a level 0 again the next night, but it just performs a level 1, as if the level 0 didn't fail. Is there anything that can be done, so if a level 0 fails, the next run will try to do another level 0? That is without operator intervention (amadmin force ) ?? Thanks, Chris
Re: extracting log data during dump
Do you happen to have this perl script available? Chris Matthew Moffitt wrote: I have a simple perl script that pulls out entries from the amdump log file to track total number of files dumped, bytes output to tape, etc, then feeds these out for processing by MRTG. It works nicely but I can't grab the data during the actual dump phase, only after it's complete when the entire log is written out. Is there a file I could be pulling data from DURING the dump so I can chart, for instance, number of files systems that have been backed up, or a count of bytes sent off to tape? admump.1 or log..0 only seem to be updated once the dump is complete so I only have the summary information after it is finished. Thanks much for any help. -Matt
