Running out of tape

2001-05-15 Thread Grabham, Keith



 
Can anyone 
advise me why Amanda is failing after running out of tape? The 
config file tells it that it should use 4 tapes, so it should calculate how much 
data should back up to fit on those 4 tapes but yet it uses all 4 tapes then 
looks for a 5th one!    

 
 
*** THE DUMPS DID NOT FINISH 
PROPERLY!
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [[writing file: short 
write]].
*** PERFORMED ALL DUMPS TO HOLDING 
DISK.
THESE DUMPS WERE TO DISK. Flush them onto tape 
DailySet46 or a new tape.
Tonight's dumps should go onto 4 tapes: 
DailySet47, DailySet48, DailySet49, DailySet50.

Hardware Compression Problem

2001-05-10 Thread Grabham, Keith



 
We are currently 
using a StoreEdge L280 Multichanger tape unit to backup via Amanda 
v2.4.1p1.
 
When switching on 
hardware compression on the tape unit, Amanda seems to override this setting 
switching hardware compression off. 
 
Can anyone tell me 
how to make the tape units hardware compression setting stay 
on.
 
Best 
regards,
Keith
