What I'm looking to do is something somwhat automatic - so I don't have to do this every four days. I.e. is there a way to tell amdump to "overwrite" a backup tape?
I.e. something like amdump -force DailySet1 If so, then I wouldn't have to do all this amlabel crap. Also, is there a way to get amanda to make .tar.gz's instead of its own format? In addition, is there a way tt amanda to run several amandas at once? I'm backing up stuff thats on a slow connection, so I've got plenty of bandwith.. Sine amanda does stuff sequentially, I'm stuck waiting 20 minutes for some file to backup and im only using like uhm, 20k/s... So I could be running 10 other amanda backups at teh same time .... Do I just make multiple confs and put them all in my crontabs? cosimo On Fri, 8 Feb 2002, Don Potter wrote: > I believe that you will need to do a amrmtape the tape from the database > trhen you could do a amlabel and re-label the disk.....and then you will > need to reintroduce it back into the rotation > > Don > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > >ok so the problem is that it thinks I have no new tapes, I'd like to just > >write over tape 1 - how to I tell it to just write over it? > > > > > >
