I think that the transfer architecture will do so, although I haven't put a lot of thought into it yet. Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
Does amanda only check free holdingdiskspace at startup?
Hi, last saturday my monthly off-site backup started. But at the starttime, the holding disk was full of scrap. Yesterday afternoon I saw this, because I expected amanda already to be finished. I removed the scrap from all holdingdisks. Now there's about 600 GB space again. But if I have a look at amstatus, then I see, that amanda is just dumping directly to tape: nucleus.mr.lfmg.de://expression-02/dumps$ 0 7497m dumping to tape (6:58:44) ... holding space : 4878m (100.00%) Amanda haven't rechecked if the holdingdisk has meanwhile more free space and use it. Is there a way to tell amanda while a dump is running, to recheck the free holdingdisk space or do I have to cancel this run and restart it again? If I let amanda finish with this speed, it would take about 5 more days to backup the rest.
