Im having problems backing up my home pc. Im running the latest version of Madriva on a new Dell celeron pc with 80Gb hard drive and 512Mb ram, Also an old 12/24 DAT drive.
I set up a nightly backup onto the DAT drive through the Mandriva control centre, all worked fine for a few weeks, then all of a sudden stopped working.
When i try to do a backup manualy it returns the error message 'Backup destination quota exceeded! 8308 MB used vs 1000 MB allocated'
I looked through the Drakbackup configuration file, its got 'Save on hard drive on path /var/lib/drakbackup Limit disk usage to 1000 MB'
Ive looked through all the options and found no where i can change this 1000MB limit.
Does anyone know what im doing wrong?
Any help would be apricated!
Maybe you have to erase the tapes before you try to record a new backup. If there is already a backup on the tape the backup program will probably skip past that and then try to perform the backup with whatever space is left on the tape.
