1) I use the lbl-templ keyword in my tapetype, which causes amanda to print out a tape label at the end of every run. The tape label lists all the filesystems that are on the tape and their levels. That way, I know what's on every tape without having to even put 'em in the drive. 2) I tar up all the relevant amanda config and information directories. Said tarball I put both in ~amanda on the amanda server and (via NFS) on our RAID (which is also backed up by amanda). So I've always got two copies of all the amanda info, up to date, on disk, plus on tape. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
