Backups not running or taking over 24Hours.

[rventura]

Hello,

For the last month, i've been working with support, but it has got me nowhere.

I am running Zmanda Enterprise 3.1.1 under Debian 5.0 and using a 8 slot Quamtum SuperLoader 3 with a SDLTv4.

I am trying to back up the file server which is about 280GB. Everything seems to be fine except that the backup i started yesterday at 10AM central hasnt finished.

Here is what i am seeing:

# amstatus --config FileServer

Now, the staging area or available space in the server is only 50GB, however, according to support i should be able to write directly to the tape and i dont want to back up to disk.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

You are backing using Samba. Looking at the amstatus output, it appears the files are still being read from the share.
Can you check for Samba errors? Also, look at amsamba logs under
/var/log/amanda/client directory.

Send this information to the Support team. They can help you out.
