Along with several Linux boxes, I have one Windows NT 4 server which
I'm using amanda to back up using tar over samba. The DLEs, in case
anyone's curious, are simply:
peterbilt //server/e$ comp-high-tar
peterbilt //server/f$ comp-high-tar
(peterbilt is the tapehost, and, yes, some unimaginative soul actually
did name the NT box "server" before I got here.)
For whatever reason, these two DLEs come up strange pretty regularly,
maybe 70-80% of the time, and occasionally fail. I do keep 3 weeks of
tape, so I always have at least _a_ backup of each, but it would be nice
to reliably get them every night. What can I do to get them to start
behaving properly?
The failed/strange dump reports tend to be extremely long, but here's
one of the shorter ones as an example:
/-- peterbilt //server/f$ lev 1 STRANGE
sendbackup: start [peterbilt://server/f$ level 1]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/usr/bin/smbclient
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/usr/bin/smbclient -f... -
sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz
sendbackup: info end
