To do this in the shortest time possible the answer must be back up the amanda database files onto floppy disk on a regular basis, also test the floppy regularly. If your DB files won't fit onto a floppy consider CD or the tape your backing the other stuff on to. Although may have complicatyions with this method because the DB files will be open while amanda is running. In this scenario you only have to dig through the tape for the DB files restore them then restore as normal. This is the way we do it although touch wood we have not been faced with such a situation to date. Now that I've said that I know it's going to happen. David Flood Systems Administrator
