[Amanda-users] confusing problem with NO-NEW-TAPE
2008-06-10 14:46:54
Jean-Louis took a look at my config, and it turns out I had a foolish error. I
had used the following lines from the default config:
# flush-threshold-dumped, flush-threshold-scheduled, taperflush, and autoflush
# are used to control tape utilization. See the amanda.conf (5) manpage
for
# details on how they work. Taping will not start until all criteria are
# satisfied. Here are some examples:
# You want to keep the most recent dumps on holding disk, for faster recovery.
# Older dumps will be rotated to tape during each run.
flush-threshold-dumped 300 # (or more)
flush-threshold-scheduled 300 # (or more)
taperflush 300
autoflush yes
This configuration instructs the system to not write any tape volumes until the
holding disk contains 300 *percent* of a volume size. I had understood it to
mean 300mb on disk. I have no idea why I thought that.
Commenting out those lines allowed the backup to work as I had originally
thought that it would.
I just thought that I would post this for the others that are having the same
issue - read the manual...as they say.
Thanks for the help!
