| {{Troubleshooting Problem}}
| |
| The amdump command fails with an error message such as:
| |
| | |
| FAIL dumper backupclient /home 20051119 0 [/sbin/dump returned 1]
| |
| sendbackup: start [localhost:/home level 0]
| |
| sendbackup: info BACKUP=/sbin/dump
| |
| sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/usr/bin/gzip -dc |/sbin/restore -f... -
| |
| sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz
| |
| 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]
| |
| The key features to note are the sendbackup error (<tt>/sbin/dump returned 1</tt>) and the disk being backed up (<tt>/home</tt>).
| |
| | |
| {{Troubleshooting Solution}}
| |
| The dump application can only handle entire filesystems. It cannot dump subdirectories. Use GNU Tar as the backup/restore method for DLEs that are subdirectories inside of a mounted filesystem.
| |
| | |
| Choose the dump-program by setting the parameter "program" in the dumptype
| |
| program DUMP
| |
| or
| |
| program GNUTAR
| |
| | |
| Using the default [[amanda.conf]] dumptypes, if you use GNU Tar you may define a DLE like
| |
| backupclient /home comp-root-tar
| |
| and if you use DUMP you may define your DLE like
| |
| backupclient hda4 comp-root
| |
| | |
| Also refer to the manpage of [[amanda.conf]] and the commented template-file inside of the Amanda distribution tarball.
