Ah!! I found the log.

This is what Amanda said from the last run:

Looks like the estimates are the same for every level!

Why would this be?

Thanks in advance!

Do you have something like this in your amdump file:

planner: time 1817.635: got result for host condor disk //bunting/e$: 0 -> 5524252K, 1 -> 108113K, 2 -> 108113K


It should verify that it calculates the level 0 and level 1 backups.

Is the level 0 actually written entirely to disk (or tape).  Is it
possible that the backup fails before the level 0 has been completed?

Hi all,

I've been using Amanda for a while with no issue.

I recently moved from RH9 to Gentoo and re-installed amanda with the
latest version available in the ebuild tree (amanda 2.4.4_p3). Using
my same config files and backing up to disk (using chg-disk).

Very, very odd problem now: No matter how many times Amanda runs, she
always calculates the dump sizes as if they are level 0, even when she
wants to do a level 1.

Example:

ziyal        -ata2/homes 1 13306200 13306200   --   13:5615917.9
13:5715903.2

This is supposedly a level 1 of this filesystem, but the filesystem's
data size is:

13526260        /data2/homes

So obviously Amanda isn't doing a level 1 here even though she thinks
she is.

The problem here is that every night my backups fail because there's
always too much data to put on the backup medium, and Amanda can never
seem to get a level 1. Note that this particular filesystem has been
backed up seven times, the first time was a level 0 and each time
after was a "level 1" but Amanda dumped the full 13gb partition each
time.

Help? Any ideas why Amanda can't seem to get level 1 calculations
correct?

Thanks!
