amanda-2.4.3b1 / dumporder warning
Hi, I've tried the new amanda-2.4.3b1, with a amanda.conf file which had the new keywords (dumporder & autoflush) in it, taken from example/amanda.conf. Int the logfile and the report, there are many lines saying | WARNING driver Unknown dumporder character ' The dumporder line in amanda.conf is: | dumporder "sssS" # specify the priority order of each dumper Any ideas why this warning is shown?

Grmbl. May be this happens because I have 'inparallel 5' and so 'dumporder' should be 5 chars long. I'll try that tomorrow. Regards, Lipo -- "They that can give up essential liberty | Roland E.

amanda-2.4.3b1 / disk-expression
With amanda-2.4.3b1 I've troubles using disk-expressions to match samba shares. eg.: | $ amadmin ds1 info apollo felix | | Current info for apollo //felix/c$: | (...) | Current info for apollo //felix/d$: | (...) but I haven't found an expression witch matches only "//felix/d$". | $ amadmin ds1 info apollo felix**d | amadmin: no disk matched | $ amadmin ds1 info apollo felix/d | amadmin: no disk matched | $ amadmin ds1 info apollo felix*d | amadmin: no disk matched | $ amadmin ds1 info apollo felix?d | amadmin: no disk matched Regards, Lipo -- "They that can give up essential liberty | Roland E.

Thanks, that works. But I guess there is still something strange: |$ amadmin ds1 info apollo 'felix/d\$' | |Current info for apollo //felix/d$: |(...) |$ amadmin ds1 info apollo 'felix/d' |amadmin: no disk matched |$ amadmin ds1 info apollo 'felix/' | |Current info for apollo //felix/c$: |(...) | |Current info for apollo //felix/d$: |(...) Why 'felix/d' doesn't match but 'felix/' matches? just asking, Lipo -- "They that can give up essential liberty | Roland E.

I've read the 'HOST & DISK EXPRESSION' section in amanda(8), but I guess the old substring matching from 2.4.2 was still in my mind.

Ok, tested with too short dumporder-string and no warnings in logfile. Thanks, Lipo -- "They that can give up essential liberty | Roland E.

'exclude' with samba-backups
I'm using samba-backups with an exclude-statement (specified in the disklist-file). As far as I read from the files in /tmp/amanda the exlusion is only used when backuping, not when estimating. Bug or feature? (BTW: amanda-2.4.2) Regards, Lipo -- Roland E. Lipovits Vienna, Austria

Eric Wadsworth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >I'm just starting out, but I understood that excludes didn't work with >samba shares when using GNUTAR. I've been working around that limitation, AFAIK exclude works with samba in 2.4.2 but didn't work in 2.4.1p1. The results of my backups verify this. >certainly open to suggestions... if the excludes actually work on samba >shares, let me know! As said above they seem to work, but I can use only one expression for exclusion per share; I wasn't successful in trying to exclude more than one expression, neither by exclude-file, nor by a list of expressions.

Maybe a symlink will work, the other way (which I did) is to fetch the Debianized sources for amanda as a starting point.

Or should it try to figure out at ./configure time which >way to go? ./configure sounds like a good idea, because 'dumpdates' is part of the dump-Package and dump should be already installed when compiling amanda. BTW: I've checked some Linux distributions (SuSE, RedHat, Slackware, debian), Free- & NetBSD, debian is the only one with dumpdates not in /etc. Regards, Lipo -- Roland E. Lipovits Vienna, Austria
