1) This morning, my amanda report said:

These dumps were to tape Indyme010.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.

Instead of "The next tape Amanda expects to use is: Indyme011."

Here's the tapelist:

20030226 Indyme010 reuse
20030225 Indyme009 reuse
20030221 Indyme008 reuse
20030220 Indyme007 reuse
20030219 Indyme006 reuse
20030218 Indyme005 reuse
20030215 Indyme004 reuse
20030214 Indyme003 reuse
20030213 Indyme002 reuse
20030212 Indyme001 reuse
0 Indyme013 reuse
0 Indyme012 reuse
0 Indyme011 reuse

There was a 014 and 015 in there, but I deleted them so, afetr this
week, it would go back to using 001 on Monday.


2) Also, my report gave me another STRANGE backup, caused in part by
stuff in /tmp and the holdingdisk changing.  But:

[root@backup root]# cat /usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar
/tmp
/hold

define dumptype root-tar {
    global
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
    compress none
    index
    exclude list "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar"
    priority low
}

define dumptype comp-root-tar {
    root-tar
    comment "Root partitions with compression"
    compress client fast
}

[root@backup root]# grep backup /etc/amanda/DailySet1/disklist
backup /dev/hda1 comp-root-tar


What am I doing wrong to get /tmp and /hold excluded?
