AW: Q: amanda mail report

Hi!

I see that there is a client running (and a process on the backup-server) 

--> (Backupserver)

28409 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/sh -c /usr/sbin/amdump daily_pst &&
/usr/sbin/amadmin daily_pst export
28411 ?        S      0:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/amdump daily_pst
28437 ?        S      0:00 /usr/lib/amanda/driver daily_pst

and i see that data is written on my Backupserver (vtapes).

-> -rw-------  1 amanda disk  2,5G 19. Apr ----> 11:01 <--- (timestamp is
updating and filesize is getting bigger) 00019.pst._pst_kmueller.0


The report told me

These dumps were to tape daily_pst109.
The next tape Amanda expects to use is: daily_pst110.

FAILURE AND STRANGE DUMP SUMMARY:
  pst  /pst/cschmidt   RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/dclauss    RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/mhocke     RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/ihillen    RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/jfenner    RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/kmueller   RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/lmeyer     RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/nfeist     RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/pmeichner  RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/troters    RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/yvogt      RESULTS MISSING
  pst  /pst/zolgar     RESULTS MISSING

at this time the backup was till running and writing the data to the vtape. 

See this -> 

pst  /pst/kmueller   RESULTS MISSING

This disklist entry is still backuping 

->

-rw-------  1 amanda disk  3,5G 19. Apr 11:07 00019.pst._pst_kmueller.0
(11:07 is now)

I don?t know why the report was generated while the backup was running.

Thanks for your help

How did you come to that conclusion?

Was there still one client running some amanda process, but
the server did send the mail report?
Didn't the report mention anything strange (like clients that
timed out, etc.) ?
