Its very weird. I have checked the /var/log/cron logs and there doesn't appear to be anything suspicious. I have checked with "amstatus" both my main daily backup and the couple of test configurations I had and the results all make sense. "amcheck" gives me the right answer for which is the next tape.

I have also checked /etc/crontab and amanda's crontab and its all sane.

what is weird is that it is using the "org" from the daily configuration, and the DLE's as well, but the /var/lib/amanda/daily/amdump.1 only shows me the last successful one.

Very strange. Well, I have a couple of days to go before I leave so I will watch the upcoming backup carefully...

Hi everyone, I just had a weird thing happen. I had already received my AMANDA MAIL REPORT for my daily backup for today. But 5 hours after I received the usual backup report, I got another email, this time from user "root AT mydomain DOT com" rather from the usual "amanda AT mydomain DOT com".

The subject was:

MYDOMAIN AMANDA MAIL REPORT FOR BogusMonth 0, 0

Perhaps some forgotten root cron (or 'at') job that was an attempt to run
monthly backups?  Amanda doesn't run itself, so perhaps you can look in
wherever your system cron logs are and track it down that way.  Probably
not a big issue since it failed, although you might want to run amcheck to
see that it didn't muck with your changer or mark a tape as used (since
its been my experience even a totally failed backup marks the current tape
as used).

I have appended the result below.  It has all the correct DLE's reported.

Ordinarily I wouldn't worry about this, I'd just let it go and see if it happens again. But since I will be leaving town for the holidays in a few days I thought I would ask if anyone has seen this before and has any ideas about why it would happen. I'm just worried about impending difficulties while I'm out of town.

Thanks in advance,
Don
