amanda and dumpdates - aka amandates - file
2007-09-22 18:57:49
Ok I might have found the problem (or a problem anyway). In
/var/log/syslog on this system there are messages like this one from when
I tried running 'amdump' on the backup server host early this morning:
Sep 23 01:16:55 lios sendsize[11607]: [ID 702911 auth.notice] error
[opening /etc/amandates: No such file or directory]
I'm assuming that this is the Amanda equivalent of /etc/dumpdates? What
I'll try symlinking /etc/dumpdates to /etc/amandates (so that all system
dumps will use the same place to record filesystem dump timestamp info)
and later on today manually run 'amdump' on the backup server host to see
what happens...
I didn't see any mention of /etc/amandates in the online documentation for
setting up backup clients but it might be elsewhere. 8-)
Craig.
