Dump size is the same regardless of the backup level
- Issue
- The backup size for a DLE is the same regardless of the backup level.
- Logs
- Look at the gnutar-lists directory in the client. All the files had ".new" suffix.
- Cause
- One of the possible reasons can be
- Check if the record value in the dumptype for the DLE is set to yes (See amanda.conf)
- Solution
- Set the record value to the yes in the dumptype definition in amanda.conf. This will cause the backup program: dump or GNU tar, to record the information in /etc/dumpdates or /etc/amandates files on the client.
