This may be related to our backup problems described earlier:
I just noticed that during a dump running just now, I have
# ps -f -C gzip
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
amanda 3064 769 0 17:18 pts/5 00:00:00 /bin/gzip --best
amanda 3129 773 0 17:44 pts/5 00:00:00 /bin/gzip --best
on the Amanda server. Parents are
# ps -f -p 769 -p 773
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
amanda 769 743 0 12:44 pts/5 00:00:00 dumper0 ks/incr
amanda 773 743 0 12:44 pts/5 00:00:00 dumper2 ks/incr
what's strange about this, is that I'm neither using server compression, nor the
"best" compress options.
My dumptype setup is (this is for my incremental-only backup to harddisk):
define dumptype global {
comment "Global definitions"
index yes
compress client fast
strategy incronly
skip-full
}
define dumptype full-tar {
global
program "GNUTAR"
comment "Dump of files via tar"
priority high
exclude list optional ".amanda.excludes"
}
Any ideas why I get these processes?
