Do not directly delete or change any of these files or directories unless apprised by the Zmanda Support Team. Changing any of these files directly can result in failed backups and other problems.
Zmanda provides Amanda server disaster recovery solutions to protect Amanda server. Please contact Zmanda Sales or Zmanda Support Team for more details.
You should monitor free space availability in /tmp, /etc/amanda and /opt/zmanda/amanda directories. At least 10 percent 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 the Zmanda support tool for troubleshooting Amanda problems. Amanda debug file for a process or command instance is kept for four days for each backup set.
