Backup Central

Hi guys I am using amanda installed in a FReBSD 5.1 BOx, it is runnig fine when I run amdump in a local basis, but when I try to make the buckups from other computers in my network I got planner errors:
SETTING UP FOR ESTIMATES...

and then I get a Failed QUEUE:empty

amcheck gives me no errors.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

I have following queries in the amanda Backup

1)
[amanda < at > indus amanda]$ amadmin DailySet1 balance
new disk indus.mumbai.redhat.com://account.mumbai.redhat.com/C ignored.

Why do i get this


Because amanda never did a full backup of that DLE, it cannot
predict when it will be scheduled, nor how much data that will
add to the size of full backups that day.



2) I get this whwn i run amadmin DailySet1 due


Overdue 12619 days:
indus.mumbai.redhat.com://account.mumbai.redhat.com/D
Overdue 12619 days: illusions.mumbai.redhat.com:/home/amit

Can anyone clarify this on the above point


$ perl -M'Date::Calc ":all"' \
-e 'print join("-", Add_Delta_Days(2004, 7, 26, -12619)), "\n"'
1970-1-7

I guess you got that result 6 days ago :-)

January 1, 1970 is the beginning of the epoch in Unix.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that some older version of Amanda
says this when this is a new disk, or you did a "amadmin config force"
on that DLE to force a full dump. What version is this?

Otherwise you somehow got a zero in the field of last-full-dump
in the info files. Don't know how that could get there (except if
your CMOS battery is broken, and you booted that computer 6 days ago?)

Likely a firewall problem. amcheck usually passes the firewall without a
problem, but amdump fails. I would check to see if there are any firewalls
on the server, client, or somewhere in between.

Thank you, but there are no firewalls running in the client computers.
I have noticed that there is one line tahat says:
overdue 12624 days for level 0
is that ok ?


That just means that a level 0 has never been done for that client. 12624
days ago is likely January 1, 1970.

I would look at the debug files on the clients to ensure that the estimate
requests are making it through as a next step.

thank you , I get this error in sendsize.debug, but the directory exist.Any hint?

sendsize[25120]: time 0.084: dump: /home/arosales: unknown file system


That's an error from dump. My guess is that /home is a filesystem that is
not supported by dump. You didn't say what OS you are using, but if it's
linux, it must be an ext2/3 file system for dump to work.

What OS and filesystem is it?

I am using Freebsd, and I am trying to backup a directoy inside my
filesystem /home , I am using the filesystem of Freebsd

Ah, ok. If you are trying to back up a subdirectory, you must use tar, not
dump. Some versions of dump will allow you to do level 0 backups of
subdirectories, but it looks like FreeBSD may not...perhaps someone who
knows that OS better than I can answer that.
