Hi,
you are right, there was no tape inserted just to test the holding disk
confiugration.
The capacity of the directories is
b3sn30:/etc 7 mb
b3sn16:/home/b3sn16 670 mb
b3sn16:/home2/b3sn16 800 mb
b3sn30:/disk18/b3sn30 10 mb
b3sn20:/etc 3 mb
b3sn30:/disk21/b3sn30 1 mb
Amanda makes a level 1 dump of b3sn30:/etc (14 kb) and tried a level 0 dump
of b3sn16:/home/b3sn16 (670 mb). I think it should be feasible to dump these
backups to the holding disk. I'm a little bit confused, I thought Amanda will
first dump the smallest backups and the bigger corresponding to the dumporder
in
amanda.conf.
