Re: dumpcycle - amanda with a mind of its own
2003-01-10 19:39:49
it seems amanda does do a level 0 more
often than 7 days on almost every server, no matter what I put for
runcycle or dumpcycle
This triggers a memory. Maybe you are having the problem I had --
or something like it.
------------
I was doing something I didn't realize was a problem.
It's a scope and nesting issue.
Perhaps other may benefit from my goof:
global file:
define dumptype AAA {}
ERRONEOUS config file:
include global file
dumpcycle 1 week
define dumptype BBB {AAA; then more stuff}
ERRONEOUS diskfile:
node disk BBB #this is fine; uses dumpcycle 7 days = 1week
node2 disk2 AAA # NOT ok; uses some default dumpcycle of 10
days
The FIX:
config file:
include global file
dumpcycle 1 week
define dumptype BBB {AAA; more stuff}
define dumptype CCC {AAA}
You may use BBB or CCC but do not ever use AAA directly in a disklist.
It's a scope and nesting issue.
AAA has only heard of the *default* value for dumpcycle.
