Problem with Amanda

Question

Hi All, i have a problem with the Amanda under soalris 10, the planner is not able to get an estimate, se below:

# Specify holding disks.  These are used as a temporary staging area for
# dumps before they are written to tape and are recommended for most sites.
# The advantages include: tape drive is more likely to operate in streaming
# mode (which reduces tape and drive wear, reduces total dump time); multiple
# dumps can be done in parallel (which can dramatically reduce total dump time.
# The main disadvantage is that dumps on the holding disk need to be flushed
# (with amflush) to tape after an operating system crash or a tape failure.
# If no holding disks are specified then all dumps will be written directly
# to tape.  If a dump is too big to fit on the holding disk than it will be
# written directly to tape.  If more than one holding disk is specified then
# they will all be used based on activity and available space.

# If amanda cannot find a tape on which to store backups, it will run
# as many backups as it can to the holding disks.  In order to save
# space for unattended backups, by default, amanda will only perform
# incremental backups in this case, i.e., it will reserve 100% of the
# holding disk space for the so-called degraded mode backups.
# However, if you specify a different value for the `reserve'
# parameter, amanda will not degrade backups if they will fit in the
# non-reserved portion of the holding disk.
# reserve 30 # percent
# This means save at least 30% of the holding disk space for degraded
# mode backups.
autoflush no #
# if autoflush is set to yes, then amdump will schedule all dump on
# holding disks to be flush to tape during the run.
# The format for a ColumnSpec is a ',' seperated list of triples.
# Each triple consists of
#   + the name of the column (as in ColumnNameStrings)

#     to the maximum length of a line to print.

# You need only specify those colums that should be changed from

# Amanda needs a few Mb of diskspace for the log and debug files,
# as well as a database.  This stuff can grow large, so the conf directory
# isn't usually appropriate.  Some sites use /usr/local/var and some /usr/adm.
# Create an amanda directory under there.  You need a separate infofile and
# logdir for each configuration, so create subdirectories for each conf and
# put the files there.  Specify the locations below.
# Note that, although the keyword below is infofile, it is only so for
# historic reasons, since now it is supposed to be a directory (unless
# you have selected some database format other than the `text' default)
infofile "/opt/local/etc/amanda/daily/curinfo"  # database DIRECTORY
logdir   "/opt/local/etc/amanda/daily"          # log directory
indexdir "/opt/local/etc/amanda/daily/index"            # index directory
#tapelist "/usr/local/etc/amanda/DailySet1/tapelist"    # list of used tapes
# tapelist is stored, by default, in the directory that contains amanda.conf
# tapetypes
# Define the type of tape you use here, and use it in "tapetype"
# above.  Some typical types of tapes are included here.  The tapetype
# tells amanda how many MB will fit on the tape, how big the filemarks
# are, and how fast the tape device is.
# A filemark is the amount of wasted space every time a tape section
# ends.  If you run `make tapetype' in tape-src, you'll get a program
# that generates tapetype entries, but it is slow as hell, use it only
# if you really must and, if you do, make sure you post the data to
# the amanda mailing list, so that others can use what you found out
# by searching the archives.
# For completeness Amanda should calculate the inter-record gaps too,
# but it doesn't.  For EXABYTE and DAT tapes this is ok.  Anyone using
# 9 tracks for amanda and need IRG calculations?  Drop me a note if
# so.
# If you want amanda to print postscript paper tape labels
# add a line after the comment in the tapetype of the form
#    lbl-templ "/path/to/postscript/template/label.ps"
# if you want the label to go to a printer other than the default
# for your system, you can also add a line above for a different
# printer. (i usually add that line after the dumpuser specification)

# dumptypes
# These are referred to by the disklist file.  The dumptype specifies
# certain parameters for dumping including:
#   auth        - authentication scheme to use between server and client.
#                 Valid values are "bsd", "krb4", "krb5" and "ssh".
#                 Default: [auth bsd]
#   comment     - just a comment string
#   comprate    - set default compression rate.  Should be followed by one or
#                 two numbers, optionally separated by a comma.  The 1st is
#                 the full compression rate; the 2nd is the incremental rate.
#                 If the second is omitted, it is assumed equal to the first.
#                 The numbers represent the amount of the original file the
#                 compressed file is expected to take up.
#                 Default: [comprate 0.50, 0.50]
#   compress    - specify compression of the backed up data.  Valid values are:
#                 "none"        - don't compress the dump output.
#                 "client best" - compress on the client using the best (and
#                                 probably slowest) algorithm.
#                 "client fast" - compress on the client using fast algorithm.
#                 "client custom" - compress using your custom client compression program.
#                                   use client_custom_compress "PROG" to specify
#                                   the custom compression program.
#                                   PROG must not contain white space.
#                 "server best" - compress on the tape host using the best (and
#                                 probably slowest) algorithm.
#                 "server fast" - compress on the tape host using a fast
#                                 algorithm.  This may be useful when a fast
#                                 tape host is backing up slow clients.
#                 "server custom" - compress using your server custom compression program.
#                                   use server_custom_compress "PROG" to specify
#                                   the custom compression program.
#                                   PROG must not contain white space.
#                 Default: [compress client fast]
#   dumpcycle   - set the number of days in the dump cycle, ie, set how often a
#                 full dump should be performed.  Default: from DUMPCYCLE above
#   estimate      Determine the way AMANDA does it's estimate.
#                 "client"      - Use the same program as the dumping program,
#                               this is the most accurate way to do estimates,
#                               but it can take a long time.
#                 "calcsize"    - Use a faster program to do estimates, but the
#                               result is less accurate.
#                 "server"      - Use only statistics from the previous run to
#                               give an estimate,
#                               it takes only a few seconds but the result is not
#                               accurate if your disk usage changes from day to day.
#                 Default: [client]
#   encrypt  - specify encryption of the backed up data. Valid values are:
#                 "none"   - don't encrypt the dump output.
#                 "client" - encrypt on the client using the program specified by
#                            client_encrypt "PROG".
#                            Use client_decrypt_option to specify the decrypt-
#                            parameter, default is "-d".
#                            PROG and decrypt-parameter must not contain white space.
#                 "server" - encrypt on the server using the program specified by
#                            server_encrypt "PROG".
#                            Use server_decrypt_option to specify the decrypt-
#                            parameter, default is "-d".
#                            PROG and decrypt-parameter must not contain white space.
#                 Default: [none]
#   exclude     - specify files and directories to be excluded from the dump.
#                 Useful with gnutar only; silently ignored by dump and samba.
#                 Valid values are:
#                 "pattern"       - a shell glob pattern defining which files
#                                   to exclude.
#                                   gnutar gets --exclude="pattern"
#                 list "filename" - a file (on the client!) containing patterns
#                                   re's (1 per line) defining which files to
#                                   exclude.
#                                   gnutar gets --exclude-from="filename"
#                 Note that the `full pathname' of a file within its
#                 filesystem starts with `./', because of the way amanda runs
#                 gnutar: `tar -C $mountpoint -cf - --lots-of-options .' (note
#                 the final dot!)  Thus, if you're backing up `/usr' with a
#                 diskfile entry like ``host /usr gnutar-root', but you don't
#                 want to backup /usr/tmp, your exclude list should contain
#                 the pattern `./tmp', as this is relative to the `/usr' above.
#                 Please refer to the man-page of gnutar for more information.
#                 If a relative pathname is specified as the exclude list,
#                 it is searched from within the directory that is
#                 going to be backed up.
#                 Default: include all files
#   holdingdisk - should the holding disk be used for this dump.  Useful for
#                 dumping the holding disk itself.  Default: [holdingdisk auto]
#                 "never"    - Never use the holding disk.
#                 "auto"     - Use the holding disk if possible.
#                 "required" - Always use the holding disk.
#   ignore      - do not back this filesystem up.  Useful for sharing a single
#                 disklist in several configurations.
#   index       - keep an index of the files backed up.  Default: [index no]
#   kencrypt    - encrypt the data stream between the client and server.
#                 Default: [kencrypt no]
#   maxdumps    - max number of concurrent dumps to run on the client.
#                 Default: [maxdumps 1]
#   maxpromoteday - max number of day for a promotion, set it 0 if you don't
#                 want promotion, set it to 1 or 2 if your disk get
#                 overpromoted.
#                 Default: [10000]
#   priority    - priority level of the dump.  Valid levels are "low", "medium"
#                 or "high".  These are really only used when Amanda has no
#                 tape to write to because of some error.  In that "degraded
#                 mode", as many incrementals as will fit on the holding disk
#                 are done, higher priority first, to insure the important
#                 disks are at least dumped.  Default: [priority medium]
#   program     - specify the dump system to use.  Valid values are "DUMP",
#                 or "GNUTAR".  Default: [program "DUMP"].
#   record      - record the backup in the time-stamp-database of the backup
#                 program (e.g. /etc/dumpdates for DUMP or
#                 /usr/local/var/amanda/gnutar-lists for GNUTAR.).
#                 Default: [record yes]
#   skip-full   - skip the disk when a level 0 is due, to allow full backups
#                 outside Amanda, eg when the machine is in single-user mode.
#   skip-incr   - skip the disk when the level 0 is NOT due.  This is used in
#                 archive configurations, where only full dumps are done and
#                 the tapes saved.
#   starttime   - delay the start of the dump?  Default: no delay
#   strategy    - set the dump strategy.  Valid strategies are currently:
#                 "standard" - the standard one.
#                 "nofull"   - do level 1 dumps every time.  This can be used,
#                              for example, for small root filesystems that
#                              only change slightly relative to a site-wide
#                              prototype.  Amanda then backs up just the
#                              changes.
#                 "noinc"    - do level 0 dumps every time.
#                 "skip"     - skip all dumps.  Useful for sharing a single
#                              disklist in several configurations.
#                 "incronly" - do only incremental dumps. This is similar
#                              to strategy 'nofull', but will increase
#                              the dump level as usual. Full dumps will
#                              only be performed when an 'amadmin force'
#                              has been issued
#                 Default: [strategy standard]
# tape_splitsize - (optional) split dump file into pieces of a specified size.
#                 This allows dumps to be spread across multiple tapes, and can
#                 potentially make more efficient use of tape space.  Note that
#                 if this value is too large (more than half the size of the
#                 average dump being split), substantial tape space can be
#                 wasted.  If too small, large dumps will be split into
#                 innumerable tiny dumpfiles, adding to restoration complexity.
#                 A good rule of thumb, usually, is 1/10 of the size of your
#                 tape.  Default: [disabled]
# split_diskbuffer - (optional) When dumping a split dump  in  PORT-WRITE
#                 mode (usually meaning "no holding disk"), buffer the split
#                 chunks to a file in the directory specified by this option.
#                 Default: [none]
# fallback_splitsize - (optional) When dumping a split dump  in  PORT-WRITE
#                 mode, if no split_diskbuffer is specified (or if we somehow
#                 fail to use our split_diskbuffer), we must buffer split
#                 chunks in memory.  This specifies the maximum size split
#                 chunks can be in this scenario, and thus the maximum amount
#                 of memory consumed for in-memory splitting.  Default: [10m]
# Note that you may specify previously defined dumptypes as a shorthand way of
# defining parameters.
define dumptype global {
    comment "Global definitions"
    # This is quite useful for setting global parameters, so you don't have
    # to type them everywhere.  All dumptype definitions in this sample file
    # do include these definitions, either directly or indirectly.
    # There's nothing special about the name `global'; if you create any
    # dumptype that does not contain the word `global' or the name of any
    # other dumptype that contains it, these definitions won't apply.
    # Note that these definitions may be overridden in other
    # dumptypes, if the redefinitions appear *after* the `global'
    # dumptype name.
    # You may want to use this for globally enabling or disabling
    # indexing, recording, etc.  Some examples:

I just bought the LG ALLY and would love to have the Accuweather widget on the phone. My problem is while my phone shows the correct time, (I am on Eastern here, but about 15 miles away in Illinois they are on Central) the Accuweather Widget is off by an hour showing Central time. I tried to sync it, but I can't find it in my list of sync-able programs. If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated. It's frustrating both me and a co-worker with the same phone/problem.
Thank you!

I have the same issue, Amanda. The weather widget that comes with the Ally was poorly written. The time issue is bad enough, but it takes up more screen space than is visible. Try it, if you touch and hold on the space below the widget, it will select it. This also means you can't add widgets or icons directly below it, resulting in a great deal of wasted space.
