Well I am none the wiser but this situation has again fixed itself. I suppose I shouldn't complain as at least all the servers are working again. But I really don't like faults like this that come and go with no idea as to what is causing the issue. Glen.

Re: Backup silent failure - solved.

2008-02-08 Thread Glen Eustace
After much head scratching I finally managed to find a way to debug this. The problem was that another application ( still can't work out how ), changed the ownership and permissions on /dev/null, this prevented selfcheck and sendbackup from running as they didn't have sufficient priveleges.

This is getting more and more weird. I just build a 3rd server, same distro. It would also appear to work fine. I removed amanda from the failing server and re-installed. Didn't seem to make any difference. The two new ones both seem happy with calcsize, but the original still isn't :-( --

Generally this kind of intermittent failure is caused by timeouts that are too low. Try increasing the timeouts. http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Results_missing I have had a look at this page, good stuff but unfortunately not too helpful at this stage. When things fail, I don't even get

It would seem that we have some kind of conflict with hardware and software compression. If both are on, the backups can not be restored. I have managed to turn off software compression and that seems to cure the problem but would prefer to do software and not hardware. I have tried turning o

I was more than a little dismayed today to find that all of the backups I have been doing are not recoverable. I needed to restore some files today, and at this stage it looks like I am out of options. The client is i386 rh7.1 running the amanda-2.4.2p2 clients as installed from the rh RPM.
