Hi,

I am having the problem that our amanda installation doesn't increment
the dump levels for the filesystems defined in the DLE.

This is the backup status mail from Friday 7th of September:

(brought to you by Amanda version 2.5.2p1)

I am now wondering why the levels aren't incremented? I have configured
a dumpcycle of 7 days and a runcycle of 5 days. I am using ufsdump as
the actual dump program. The contents of /etc/dumpdates is:

[root@nessie:/]#cat /etc/dumpdates 
/dev/zvol/rdsk/edpool/users      0 Mon Sep 10 20:38:40 2007
/dev/zvol/rdsk/edpool/projects   0 Mon Sep 10 20:48:58 2007
/dev/zvol/rdsk/edpool/design     0 Mon Sep 10 21:27:11 2007

/etc/amdates looks as follows:

/design 0 1189194562
/design 1 1188901535
/it 0 1188890901
/it 1 1189451823
/projects 0 1189192646
/users 0 1189192125
/users 1 1188901421

Any hints are very appreciated.
