Hi,
I'm not sure whether this reached the list, as I have gotten no responses.
So I'll try again. I have been searching the net for info related to the
below without any definitive success. Thanks in advance for any
help...
I am having some problems with a backup that used to
run fine. The client and server are the same machine, running RedHat 8.0,
with Amanda version 2.4.5b1. Anyone have any
ideas? Two problems:
1. Amanda seems to think the dump is larger than the
tape, even though after taking the exclude files into account, the total to be
dumped is about 90 Gb onto a tape I have defined in amanda.conf to be 200 Gb
capacity. Is it possible that the exclude file is being ignored or
improperly processed? It is shown in the gtar command in the /tmp/amanda
logs and looks fine.
2. We get this error in /tmp/amanda. Since our
client and server are the same machine (no NFS or anything), and since this used
to work just fine before we added about 100Gb to the filesystem to be backed up,
I suspected that the large amount of very compressible data might be
causing a timeout. But then we see the exact same results even after
adding the offending directory to the exclude file.
sendbackup:
