Because amanda never did a full backup of that DLE, it cannot
predict when it will be scheduled, nor how much data that will
add to the size of full backups that day.



2) I get this  whwn i run amadmin DailySet1 due


Overdue 12619 days:
indus.mumbai.redhat.com://account.mumbai.redhat.com/D
Overdue 12619 days: illusions.mumbai.redhat.com:/home/amit

Can anyone clarify this on the above point


$ perl -M'Date::Calc ":all"' \
        -e 'print join("-", Add_Delta_Days(2004, 7, 26, -12619)), "\n"'
1970-1-7

I guess you got that result 6 days ago :-)

January 1, 1970 is the beginning of the epoch in Unix.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that some older version of Amanda
says this when this is a new disk, or you did a "amadmin config force"
on that DLE to force a full dump.  What version is this?

Otherwise you somehow got a zero in the field of last-full-dump
in the info files.  Don't know how that could get there (except if
your CMOS battery is broken, and you booted that computer 6 days ago?)
