Why are there log files in /etc/amanda/DailySet1?
2008-07-11 03:39:01
<rant>
i have a problem with setting up amanda but more of that later. i have
the following configurations:
AMANDA_DBGDIR="/var/log/amanda"
CONFIG_DIR="/etc/amanda"
i have been looking in /var/log/amanda for clues to my problem to no
avail. i have only just discovered log files in /etc/amanda/DailySet1/!
e.g. log.20080711.0 and amdump.1
</rant>
anyways. i get the following email report:
<quote>
These dumps were to tape DailySet1-00.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: a new tape.
FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
192.168.0.60 /home/zanga/Pictures lev 0 FAILED [dump to tape failed]
192.168.0.60 /home/zanga/Documents lev 0 FAILED [dump to tape failed]
</quote>
my backup server is 192.168.0.1 and the client is 192.168.0.60. as a
check, i am also backing up /etc on the server and that seems to go
ahead without any problems.
maybe my desired setup is unusual: all that i would like to do is a
nightly backup of my home directory so that if i accidentally overwrite
a file the next day i can recover it. i am not dumping to tape. i am
trying to dump to a directory /tmp/amanda
(tapedev="/tmp/amanda/DailySet1" in amanda.conf) on the server (as i
said i'm only currently looking to recover the previous day's work if
need be). i am not using a holding disk (i have commented the respective
lines out in amanda.conf)
i have commented out tpchanger in amanda.conf and have a crontab entry
"amlabel -f DailySet1 DailySet1-00"
the following line in amdump.X seems to give a clue:
"dumper: stream_client: connect to 192.168.0.60.46830 failed: No route
to host"
why is the server trying to dump to the client?
please help!
Zanga.
