Backup Central

Hi,

Can someone point me in the right direction.

In my disklist file I have this:

dilmom2 /home/cvs always-full

amcheck runs ok

But the amdump that runs overnight gives this:

/-- dilmom2 /home/cvs lev 0 FAILED [/sbin/dump returned 1]
sendbackup: start [dilmom2:/home/cvs level 0]
sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump
sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/sbin/restore -f... -
sendbackup: info end
| DUMP: You can't update the dumpdates file when dumping a subdirectory
| DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.
sendbackup: error [/sbin/dump returned 1]
\--------

Any advice greatly received
The server is Amanda version 2.4.4p1 on RHEL3
The client is Amanda version 2.4.2.p2-4 on RHEL2

Thanks

Kevin

Hi,
Isn't the message it's giving clear enough?
you can not use dump to do incremental dumps of subdirectorys,
only from complete devices.
configure amanda to use tar and all will work.

For what you want, you must use tar. Dump does whole filesystems
only. Tar however can do subdirs individually, and includes/excludes
as long as samba isn't involved. Watch your tar's version number, it
s/b 1.13-19 thru 1.13-25. No one has said yet if the 1.13-9x version
works that I can recall.

If the newest one works, please advise this list so that we can modify
our recommendations.

Hope this helps.
