nothing in holding directory
Hi I forgot to put a tape in my drive yesterday, so I got a report saying 'no medium found'. I looked in my holding directory, and found only a couple of files of a few megabytes representing the local and remote partitions I suppossably backed up... These partitions are a few gigabytes, how come they're not on the holding disk?? The reason is, I need to restore a file, and I was hoping it was somewhere on the holding disk... if the file is in one of those files, how do I get it out? regards Tom Van de Wiele
RE: incremental bumped to level x incremental? I want full!
if I put dumpcycle 0 will it overwrite the tape with a *FULL* backup
every time?

You might need to put 'dumpcycle 0' at the beginning of amanda.conf instead
of inside a dumptype. (This is a guess. I put it at the beginning and it
works there, but I haven't bothered to upgrade from version
2.4.2-19991216-beta1, because it 'ain't broke'.)
Levels are degrees of incremental-ness. Level 1 is all of the files that
have changed since level 0, and level 2 is all of the files that have
changed since level 1. A file system gets 'bumped' to a lower level when the
space it would take at the higher level is needed for other backups. If you
look at the planner (IIRC) debug file, it will show the estimated size of
each backup at different levels and why it chose the levels it did.

Subject: incremental bumped to level x incremental? I want full!
Hello list!
My objective: to make a FULL backup on tape every weekday. If there is
data on the tape, I want it removed and/or overwritten by new data...
First of all, I'm using version 2.4.2p2 on a Linux server (Dell
PowerEdge) with kernel 2.4.16
my 'disklist' file contains:
delta.eduline.be hda1 always-full
delta.eduline.be hda4 always-full
delta.eduline.be hda3 always-full
in my amanda.conf I have:
define dumptype always-full {
global
comment Full dump of this filesystem always
program GNUTAR
compress none
index yes
priority high
dumpcycle 0
}
The logs gave me this:
NOTES:
planner: Incremental of delta.eduline.be:hda3 bumped to level 2.
planner: Incremental of delta.eduline.be:hda4 bumped to level 2.
Incremental? I don't want incremental backups, I want a FULL backup.
And what are these levels in combination with the incremental term?
Kind regards

amanda auth hosts problem
Hello list I have a backupserver with two partitions on it that need to be backup'd + 2 clients. I have a .amandahosts in the amanda user's $HOME. It has this in it: [cut] hostname.eduline.be amanda [/cut] To make backups, this works fine. But when I want to amrecover files, I get that amanda authhosts failed. When I change the user to root instead of amanda, then amrecover works. Is there a more sudle way then to always change that user in that file? (BTW, I applied the stream_client patch, recompiled and amrecover works) Kind regards -- Tom -- Tom Van de Wiele System Administrator Eduline Colonel Bourgstraat 105a 1140 Brussel http://www.eduline.be

incremental backups and one full
Hi list I'm running amanda without any problems, but I want to change something. Right now, I have a dumpcycle of 4 days, runspercycle 5 days and a tapecycle of 5 tapes. The backups run at 01am every night, 5 (work)days a week. I make a full backup everyday of 4 partitions, 2 local on the tapeserver, and 2 remote. Now, I want the 2 remote partitions to be backed up full once a week, and the 4 other days incremental. Can I do this without making seperate confs? thanks kind regards Tom Van de Wiele -- Tom Van de Wiele System Administrator Eduline Colonel Bourgstraat 105a 1140 Brussel http://www.eduline.be
Re: incremental backups and one full
Hey I have 5 tapes, for 5 workingdays a week. I backup 4 partitions, two being on the tapehost itself, 2 on a remote host. Right now, the system does a backup every day (the dumptype is always full). The 2 partitions on the host itself can do a full backup everyday (no network traffic). The two other partitions on the other host: I want to do a full dump on fridaynight, and during the week I want incremental backups. Is this more clear? Did I make a mistake in my configuration? (because this seems to work) Again, my values: dumpcycle : 4 days runspercycle: 5 days tapecycle: 5 tapes thnx Tom Paul Bijnens wrote: Tom Van de Wiele wrote: Hi list I'm running amanda without any problems, but I want to change something.

That's very confusing to me. dumpcycle 4 days means: one full backup every 4 days. runspercycle 5 means: I will insert 5 tapes in those 4 dumpcycle days that's probably not what you intend!

a tape to do experiments with, but not in the tapecycle
Hi I'm doing backups every day with amanda and everything works great. But I'd like to have some experience in restoring files in case a day of distaster comes my way. I have 5 tapes for every workingday and these backup all the important files. Now, I'm not that crazy to use these files for experimentation so I have an extra tape. I'd let amanda backup some testfiles on my workstation, and I'd try some restore/recover stuff on my workstation. My question is this: how would I add the tape to the list, so I can use if freely when I want, AND (more important) NOT disturb the tapecycle I have now. Come to think of it, it doesn't need to be in the tapecycle, because I only want to use it when I want to. Any ideas?

Why not? Amanda went into degraded mode since there was no tape and put what it could in your holding space. All that info (including the level backups of each partition it did) should be in the email report.

DUMP program not available
Hello people Amanda Backup Hosts Check - ERROR: tapeserver.ourdomain.com: [DUMP program not available] Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.046 seconds, 1 problem found I know I have to recompile amanda, but I couldn't find a parameter for the DUMP program with ./configure --help Where do I specify it? Also, the drives amanda has to backup are reiserfs and ext2 on the one client I have. Isn't it so that DUMP and RESTORE are for ext2 only? or am I mistaken? best regards Tom Van de Wiele -- Tom Van de Wiele System Administrator Eduline Colonel Bourgstraat 105a 1140 Brussel http://www.eduline.be
Re: DUMP program not available
hi so I found out DUMP is only for ext2. great. So I'm going to use tar instead since amanda doesn't really support reiserfs... how do I specify the use of the tar program? (in other words how do I shut up amcheck to search for dump and use tar instead) best regards Tom Tom Van de Wiele wrote: Hello people Amanda Backup Hosts Check - ERROR: tapeserver.ourdomain.com: [DUMP program not available] Client check: 2 hosts checked in 0.046 seconds, 1 problem found I know I have to recompile amanda, but I couldn't find a parameter for the DUMP program with ./configure --help Where do I specify it?

Re: DUMP program not available
okay, thank you. but how do I get amcheck to stop complaining about not
finding DUMP?
it doesn't complain about not finding tar, so tar must work... yes? no?
regards
Tom
ps. ik wist niet dat er zoveel amanda gebruikers waren, but glad to be

First make sure you have tar-1.13.19 or more (plain tar-1.13 has some
blocking bugs!).
Then make sure it is found when compiling amanda (look in
the /tmp/amanda/amandad* files for the GNUTAR path).
Specify a dumptype that uses the GNUTAR program:
define dumptype user-tar {
...
program GNUTAR
comment user partitions dumped with tar
...
}
That's it.
