Do people routinely clean up the log directory? I'm up to about 82 gigs. I think it is time. Do I really care about log "log.20060512.0" anymore? Paul

Wow! Amanda, by design, is supposed to clean those up when the tape is over-written, and generally has done that here over the last 7 or 8 years. You may want to look at your install, make sure these

Those logfiles are Amanda's tape catalog. Amanda should be cleaning out the logs that correspond to overwritten tapes. Do you have tapes that old? Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmand

If you remove those files manually, than Amanda cannot locate older backups anymore with "amadmin x find". When Amanda does not need them anymore, Amanda moves them to the subdir "oldlog". And only f

Well, thanks everyone! I'm just barely smart enough to do so but that is exactly why I asked first! Yes, I really do have tapes that old. Is that unusual? I backup up a LOT of linux and unix machines

Ah, I see what is going on. For all the log files I have, I was wondering how even so many 1-4K files were adding up to 84G. So, I ran an ls piped to sort and it turns out that the size of this direc

Not really, but it does end up being a lot of logfiles, as you indicate :) Someday (>>wistful sigh<<) we'll have a DB-backed catalog, so folks like you with lots of tapes won't have to worry about ma

We could stand that now Dustin. The problem as I see it though is in compressing it while still maintaining it in a human readable format. This, for bare metal recovery operations that really do need
