 Looks to me like a version conflict between server and client. The 
 amanda protocol was changed with amanda 2.4.1 I think. So perhaps you 
 still have an old client version installed somewhere and inetd.conf is 
 pointing there?

Hello,

I am getting this error on a new client I added:
Amanda Backup Client Hosts Check

I setup the .amandahosts file with:

more level 0 dumps?

2002-05-16 Thread Soo Hom

Hello,

I want more level 0 dumps in the tapecycle.  Currently we get about 2
level 0's every six weeks.


dumpcycle 6 weeks
tapecycle 30 tapes

tapedev /dev/nrst0
tapetype SDT1

infofile /var/amanda/eceadm/curinfo
indexdir /var/amanda/eceadm/index
logdir /var/amanda/eceadm

labelstr VOL[1-6][1-5]*$

If I change the number of tapes from 30 to 40 and the dumpcycle to 4 weeks
will this result in more than 2 level 0's per tapecycle?


dumpcycle 4 weeks
tapecycle 40 tapes

tapedev /dev/nrst0
tapetype SDT1

infofile /var/amanda/eceadm/curinfo
indexdir /var/amanda/eceadm/index
logdir /var/amanda/eceadm

labelstr VOL[1-6][1-5]*$

Re: more level 0 dumps?

2002-05-16 Thread Soo Hom

Jon,

The longest interval I want is a level 0 every 2 weeks.  I'll try setting
dumpcycle 2 weeks.

I run amdump 5 times per week.  M-F.  What does runspercycle do?  I
don't have that in my conf file.  Will the
tapes need relabeling after these changes?

Thanks for your help!

Soo

  dumpcycle 4 weeks
  tapecycle 40 tapes
 
 Question 1.  What is the LONGEST interval between level 0's you want?
 
Right now you are saying 6 weeks.  Getting more than 1 every
6 weeks is not certain.  Only that you will get at least 1.
 
Setting dumpcycle to 4 weeks only makes certain you get
at least 1 every 4 weeks.
 
Set it to 1 week and you will get at least 1 every week.
   
 Question 2.  How frequently do you run amdump?  It appears to be 5 times a week.
 
You should set runspercycle to the number of amdump runs per dump
cycle.  If you set dumpcycle to 2 weeks and do 5 dumps per week,
runspercycle should be 10.
 
 The number of tapes does not affect the other parameters.  But it should be
 greater than runspercycle.  Usually by a factor of 2 or 3 or 4 or... depending
 on how many cycles you wish to keep in case of problems.

amrestore problem

2002-05-01 Thread Soo Hom

Hello,

Is there a limit on the length of the path when using amrestore?  I
attempted to restore a partition but kept getting errors.  When I went
down a few subdirectories the restore worked.  Amrestore seems to fail to
restore files when the path is over 80 characters long.

client error

2001-12-05 Thread Soo Hom

I am trying to add a new client to my amanda backups.  I keep getting this
error:
  song6  c0t0d0s6 lev 0 FAILED [song6 NAK: service sendsize
unavailable]
  song6  c0t0d0s0 lev 0 FAILED [song6 NAK: service sendsize
unavailable]

I installed amanda-2.4.2p2 on an ultrasparc 10 running solaris 8 client.
Any ideas why the backup is failing?
