Hi!
I get Broken pipe all the time when backing up using tar. The backup client
is at a different site, so backup is performed over a 2 Mbit/s line. While
the 2Mb line is not top quality, using netstat -i 1 reveals that after a
number of hours, almost no backup data is sent at all. Finally, it gives up
with a "broken pipe" error. Looks to me that the tar program fails? Any
ideas how get this working better? Can I force TCP connections instead of
UDP? Anything else I've missed?
Thanks,
Palle
I use freebsd 4.8p3, amanda 2.4.4.
netusage 400 kbps # maximum net bandwidth for Amanda, in KB per sec
dumpcycle 21 days # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 12 # number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
tapecycle 18 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation
bumpsize 20 Mb # minimum savings (threshold) to bump level 1 -> 2
bumpdays 2 # minimum days at each level
bumpmult 1.5 # threshold = bumpsize * (level-1)**bumpmult
reserve 10 # reserve N % of holding disk for non-level-0 dumps
# Remember to switch between the 2 tape device
tapedev "/dev/nrsa1" # The no-rewind tape device to be uesd DLT
tapetype Adic # DLT
...
define interface iponly {
comment "iponly in the bergrum"
use 2 mbps
}

and the disklist:
...
myclient.mydomain / inferior -1 iponly
myclient.mydomain /usr/local/www/server tar_normal -1 iponly
...
All other backups run smooth, as well as the dump of the root disk.
