Hi,

Greetings to everyone! I am new to Amanda, and new to this mailing list.

I got a planner failure and empty schedule. Amcheck seems to pass ok

That seems to be because planner had nothing to do: the two disklist
entries both seems to have some problem:
 "disk /home/home-nz offline on coil?"

What are those two entries?  (E.g. make sure you are using GNUTAR and
not dump?)

The real reason is in the amanda debug files on the client in
/tmp/amanda/sendsize.DATETIME.debug .


(except the two non-existing log dirs which I assume shouldn't cause problem). The tape server and backup client are the same machine, and the two disks to be backed up are NFS exported from another machine. We are running Debian, kernel 2.4.28 on Amanda server (hostname coil) and kernel 2.6 on the NFS server.

That's not the normal way to proceed.  (E.g. nfs-exported filesystems
cannot be fully read by root, except if you used special export options.)
The normal way is to install amanda-client on that NFS-server itself.




Any clue? Thanks.
