SV: is amanda the right solution

Its capabilities will be expanded -- it will be able to re-assemble and re-split dumps, so the source and destination volume sizes need not match. The command will still be separate from the usual amdump runs, and won't do the usual report-sending or log-rotating. To put it another way,

application/amgtar patch for review

2009-08-21 Thread Christopher
Hello... Recently I started using application-tool with amgtar to solve some backup problems. One of these problems is where several smaller filesystems were merged creating a large filesystem. The amanda backup run using gtar started failing. After much debugging I saw that the gtar

Patch looks good. All code that copy/rename listed incremental files should be done only if it is used. If you disable --listed-incremental, you will get FULL backup at every run, is it what you want? The amgtar_support function must output MAX-LEVEL 0 in this case. Jean-Louis Christopher

Stan's not alone on this one. I have two OpenBSD 4.5 machines also on Sun SPARC hardware. I had this same trouble a couple months ago with 2.6.1, but didn't have time to look deeper. After seeing this discussion, I built amanda-2.6.2alpha-20090812 (can't get 0820 to compile). I'm getting exactly
