The dump definition looks like this:
dumpcycle 10 day # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 8 day # the number of amdump runs in dumpcycle days
tapecycle 12 tapes # the number of tapes in rotation
seems fine.
Amanda reported that the dumps where successfully to tape vtape-7, but
taking a simple look to what that vtape-7 contained (using ls), has proved
the opposite, there was no sign of /var/spool/mail/p (and the other DLE's
which had the same problem) on vtape-7.
vtape-7 contained /data/data0/share1 (directory, which I said above, was
reported not to be backuped successfully)
I should mention that these this didn't occure on the same run. My guess
is that Amanda backuped successfully /var/spool/mail/p (and the other
DLE's) on the 24.02 and wrote them to vtape-7, but on the 2.03 when this
error occured:
baal /data/data0/share1 lev 0 FAILED [dump larger than tape, 31665455 KB,
incremental dump also larger than tape]
The dumps where written again on vtape-7, so that's the reason why
/data/data0/share1 appears to pe on vtape-7 instead of /var/spool/mail/p
(and the other DLE's)
[...]
I've noticed that 12 vtapes where used in less than 10 days (the dumpcycle
= 10 days) but is that an excuse for missing data?
Again on vtape-7 ??? How is that possible?
Do you have runtapes > 1 ?
Or do you run amdump multiple times a day?
Any idea why amadmin still believes that vtape-7 contains the data
from feb 24, and not data from mar 2 ?
