Re: no incremental backup in strategy standard

Ello list,

With the help of Jim Summers, i added "maxpromoteday" in the dumptypedefinition and give it the value of 4.This ended up my problem for all my directories backed up except for 3of them.


It gives me:
WARNING planner disk pdc:/etc, estimate of level 1 failed.
WARNING planner disk pdc:/home/organismes, estimate of level 1 failed.
WARNING planner disk pdc:/home, estimate of level 1 failed.

(the /home and /home/organismes are separated because of an exclude list).

The next level 0 was due in 6 days and so I was expected theses 3 DLEwould not be promoted to level 0.


Here is an extract of the amstatus:

pdc://S0/C$/amanda          1        0m finished (20:54:38)

www-dev:/var/lib/zope2.7       1        0m finished (20:54:21)


Any other similar experience about that ?

Hi list,

I've got a problem with my dump cycle. In my dumpcycle of 7 days (with5 runs per cycle) and a strategy standard, I've got 5 full backupsinstead of one full and 4 incremental backups. Here is my amanda.conf:



org "test"              # your organization name for reports
dumpuser "backup"       # the user to run dumps under

inparallel 8            # maximum dumpers that will run in parallel
displayunit "m"
maxdumps 2
etimeout 2500
dtimeout 5000
netusage  10240         # maximum net bandwidth for Amanda, in KB per sec

# a filesystem is due for a full backup once every <dumpcycle> days
dumpcycle 7             # the number of days in the normal dump cycle
runspercycle 5
runtapes 2
tapecycle 20 tapes      # the number of tapes in rotation

amrecover_do_fsf yes   amrecover_check_label yes

bumpsize 10 MB # minimum savings (threshold) to bumplevel 1 -> 2

bumppercent  0
bumpdays     1          # minimum days at each level
bumpmult     4          # threshold = bumpsize * (level-1)**bumpmult

tpchanger "chg-zd-mtx"
changerdev "/dev/sg5"
tapedev "/dev/nst0"
changerfile "/etc/amanda/Tests/loader"
tapetype LTO2           # what kind of tape it is (see tapetypes below)

labelstr "P552LJ[0-9][0-9]$" # label constraint regex: all tapesmust match

label_new_tapes "P552LJ%%"

autoflush on

infofile "/var/lib/amanda/Tests/curinfo"        # database filename
logfile  "/var/log/amanda/Tests/log"            # log filename

indexdir "/var/lib/amanda/Tests/index"

define tapetype LTO2 {
   comment "LTO-2"
   length 199680 mbytes
   filemark 0 kbytes
   speed 30810 kps
}

define dumptype test-dump {
   comment "dump of our hosts"
   program "GNUTAR"
   tape_splitsize 1 gb
   priority high
   strategy standard
   index yes
   compress client best
   fallback_splitsize 100 mb
}

holdingdisk test-tmp {
   directory "/var/lib/amanda/dumps"
   use -2 gb
}

Is there something wrong ?
Any help would be appreciate :)
