Hi,
One of the machines we backup is on a different network, so I've set it up
with amanda just like all our local machines, and instead of dump I used
tar and created a list of the most important files.
Problem is, almost everytime it fails.
A full backup is supposed to take around 3:50 hours to transfer on the 2
megabit network connection. This is what amstatus says, and it is correct.
Only after a couple of hours the backups becomes slower and slower, until
it finally halts completely. Sometimes sooner than other times, but it very
seldom succeeds (it has happened).
I've run this backup for a while just to see if it would improve, and
fiddled with the settings over and over, but nothing seems to help.
Any ideas?
