Debian Amanda package 2.5.0p2-2.1
I got tired of my Amanda setup at home continually promoting many
dumps 5 or 6 days ahead (on a 7 day dumpcycle), so I thought I would
add:
maxpromoteday 3
to my config as line number 24. However, Amanda doesn't seem to like
this, as an amcheck yields"
$ amcheck daily
"/etc/amanda/daily/amanda.conf", line 24: configuration keyword expected
"/etc/amanda/daily/amanda.conf", line 24: end of line expected
amcheck: errors processing config file "/etc/amanda/daily/amanda.conf"
Commenting out that line (maxpromoteday 3) makes it all happy again.
Looking through the source of an older version shows that to be the
correct name, as does the man page for amanda.conf that came with
the 2.5 package. Did the variable change names or disappear in 2.5?
Thanks,
Frank
