Hi guys,
I have a question about amanda logs. What's the meaning of
"promoted from <no> days ahead"?
this is the log:
planner: Incremental of ns2:/data/back-up/rad-db/ bumped to level 2.
planner: Incremental of radius:/var/back-up/rad-db/ bumped to level 3.
planner: Full dump of ipass:/usr/ipass/ promoted from 6 days ahead.
planner: Full dump of mail2:/etc/ promoted from 6 days ahead.
planner: Full dump of ns2:/data/back-up/rad-db/ promoted from 3 days
ahead.
planner: Full dump of radius:/etc/ promoted from 4 days ahead.
planner: Full dump of mg-rad:/etc/ promoted from 4 days ahead.
Also why does amanda do that?
bumping: http://www.amanda.org/docs/faq.html#id2555025
And promoting is the opposite somehow.
Use "amadmin <conf> due" to see when your DLEs have to get dumped via a
lev0 at the latest time to meet your configuration.
You specified some dumpcycle, which means "at least one lev0 in
<dumpcycle> dumps". AMANDA generates the schedule to meet these goals,
if there is space left enough to pack some more data onto your media and
this helps in balancing the schedule even better, AMANDA decides to
"promote" full dumps, which simply means that it schedules it today
instead of tomorrow (or later). So in the next run there will be more
room for AMANDA to re-shuffle things and therefore helps getting a
proper schedule soon.
In your log radius:/etc/ would have been due in 4 days, but was
promoted, maybe related to the fact that other DLEs have "bumped"
because this hit the bumping-rules you use.
Somewhat clearer? I have to get some coffee now, it's early ...
;)
(this will get another FAQ-item ...)
Something else: this is normal behavior and not a problem.
