Guys:
I put amanda into use almost for 10 days now. Thanks to
everyone who helped me out. One
problem though: I still see few shares not
being backed up regularly. All the partitions
average around 8 to 10 GB of
data and the tape which I use is HP DAT 12/24 GB. Any reason
why amanda wouldn't backup these shares? I also tried setting
up priority to high. But that
didn't help either (other high priority filesystems are being
backed up fine). For full
(level 0) dumps amanda
complains "FAILED [dump larger than tape, but cannot
incremental
dump new disk". For INC (level > 0) it
complains: FAILED [dump larger than tape,
skipping incremental]
Here is the amoverview part:

Snippet of my amamda.conf:

dumpcycle 2 weeks
runspercycle 5 weeks
tapecycle 20 tapes
Also, I forgot to set record option to 'yes' after I
moved amanda to production. I realized this
two three days ago and set it back to 'yes'. Could this be one
of the reasons? Amanda never did
level 0 backups for most of the partitions and these
partitions hold lot of our critical data.
I'm getting little concerned here.
Could anyone help me here?
Thanks a lot!
