Hi,

I could not do backup big size directory.

The directory size is 1.9GB.
I use 4GB DDS2 tape.
I want to do backup 1.9GB directory into 4GB DDS2 tape.

My dumptype is root-tar in amanda.conf file.
It is the following.
---------------------------------------
holdingdisk hd1 {
    comment "main holding disk"
    directory "/dumps/amanda"   # where the holding disk is
    use 20 Gb           # how much space can we use on it
                        # a non-positive value means:
                        #        use all space but that value
    chunksize 5Gb       # size of chunk if you want big dump to be
                        # dumped on multiple files on holding disks
                        #  N Kb/Mb/Gb split images in chunks of size N
                        #             The maximum value should be
                        #             (MAX_FILE_SIZE - 1Mb)
                        #  0          same as INT_MAX bytes
    }

define dumptype root-tar {
    global
    program "GNUTAR"
    comment "root partitions dumped with tar"
    compress client best
    index yes
    exclude list "/usr/local/lib/amanda/exclude.gtar"
    priority high
}
----------------------------------------

I define backup directory in disklist file.
It is the follwing.
----------------------------------
aspone  /contents       root-tar
----------------------------------

/contents has 1.9GB size.

logfile is the following.

START planner date 20020222
INFO planner Adding new disk aspone:/contents.
START driver date 20020222
START taper datestamp 20020222 label DailySet10 tape 0

STATS driver startup time 2919.584
INFO taper tape DailySet10 kb 0 fm 0 [OK]
FINISH driver date 20020222 time 2938.374

I am getting "FAIL planner aspone /contents 0 [dump larger than tape, but
cannot incremental d
ump new disk]".

Please tell me how to do backup big size directory(1.9GB) with using amanda.
Please give any idea.

Best regards,
Masafumi Hikawa
