File Locations
Amanda Enterprise files are installed in following directories:
Amanda Server File(s) Location CLI Executables /usr/sbin Man pages /usr/share/man GUI/Web Components (including GUI log files) /opt/zmanda/amanda, /opt/zmanda/common License key file /etc/zmanda/zmanda_license Backup Set and other configuration files /etc/amanda, /etc/cron.d, /etc/logrotate.d Libraries /usr/lib Amanda-controlled executables /usr/lib/amanda Amanda Perl Libraries /usr/lib/amanda/perl Amanda Debug log files /var/log/amanda/
Backup images (vtapes) and staging area (holding disk) /var/lib/amanda (default location for backup to disks)
Do not directly delete or change any of these files or directories unless directed to do so by the Zmanda Support Team. Changing any of these files directly can result in failed backups and other problems.
You should monitor free space availability in /tmp, /etc/amanda and /opt/zmanda/amanda directories. At least 10% free space must be available in these file systems. Amanda stores the backup index, Zmanda Management Console database and temporary files in these locations, and thus these directories can fill up over time. The /tmp directory is also used to store backup images temporarily during the restore process, which can fail if it runs out of space. Lack of space in these directories can affect Amanda functionality and performance.
Amanda Debug log files are collected by Zmanda support tool for troubleshooting Amanda problems. Amanda debug file for a process or command instance are kept for four days for each backup set.
