Hello again,

I still try find the cause of my problems with amanda. When the backup finishes, I get the following dump summary:

                                     DUMPER STATS            TAPER STATS

(brought to you by Amanda version 2.4.5)

and the following notes

planner: server /srv/samba/share/org 20070412 0 [dumps too big, 397003 KB, full dump delayed] planner: server /srv/samba/share/lit 20070412 0 [dumps too big, 1433505 KB, full dump delayed]

  taper: tape Tape05 kb 20394240 fm 6 [OK]

The original data has the following sizes:

/home      4452664 kB
/profiles  8996864 kB
/data      2437400 kB
/org        376376 kB
/lit       1316660 kB
/projects 17768808 kB

So first I don't understand why ORIG-kB is half of the size. I use software compression (compress server best). Hardware compression ist turned off ("amtapetype -c" proofs this).

Next I don't understand why the data grows during it's written to tape.

The third thing I don't understand why amanda delayes two "disk". If I summarize the sizes I get 21,19 GB to store. The tape length is 36 GB uncompressed. So it should fit on the tape.

Hope that somebody can help me


Thanks for helping me
