Hi Group !


This smorning we got the problem, that many servers were backuped in
"degraded mode (host /disk lev 1 FAILED)". I think this means, the
defined hdd-tapes became too small, right ?

1) We have 17 tapes defined each one with 75000 MB. 
Can I expand this to 100000 MB without loosing the current backups ?

2) What other options do I have ? Last night, the backups partial ran in
degraded mode, will amanda try again to do those dumps additional to the
normal run, will it continue normally, or what ?

3) What if I remove some entries from the disklist ? Will amanda
recognize the removed parts although these could not be backuped fine
last night ? Some of the data could be removed from the disklist, until
we get the new backup-servers and raids to backup to, but until that, we
still need to do a backup .. !? Backup needs about 4 1/2 hours by now,
if amanda would also try to do something from last night, we will run
into some problems ... 

Thanks in advance,

...olli
