A previous employee left and I have taken over the daily maintenance of
Amanda. Can someone help with some "newbie" questions?
* Is there a place that lists the descriptions of the different
"levels?" For instance, we believe that Level 0 is a full backup, but
what are levels 1 through 4?
* Is there a place that lists what the different error messages actually
mean? Such as, why are our Windows backups always "STRANGE"? What does
"too many dumper retry" mean?
NOTE: We have Amanda running on a Solaris 10 zone (it had to be moved
to this zone after our Solaris 8 server crashed). It is backing up other
Solaris servers and Windows shares.
Thanks for your help (and patience!)
Other problem:
* We have a backup that has been failing the last few nights but
previously worked fine. We have been getting the following messages. I
thought the messages meant that some other activity was taking place at
the same time (such as a database backup) but that doesn't seem to be
the case as the files are created around 23:00 and Amanda tries to back
them up about 1:00 am. Can anyone tell why it is failing?

Marilyn,
I also looked at logs and could not find any "database related" activity
after midnight on the majic-dw-prod server for May 7th or May 8th.

Hi,
The database backup written to the below directory occurs at 11pm each
night. On the average it takes 13-16 minutes and completes by 11:16pm.
The size is approximately 5.3gb.
