Hi! I've found into the amanda documentation (FAQ.gz) various ways to perform a backup. I've some doubts because my english is a little bad ( I'm spanish and my alternative language is french) and I would like to make some questions about this. The FAQ says the following:
-- You may create short-named links in some directory closer to the root (/) so as to reduce the length of names. I.e., instead of backing up /usr/home/foo and /usr/home/bar, create the following links: /.foo -> /usr/home/foo /.bar -> /usr/home/bar then list /.foo and /.bar in the disklist. Another approach is to group sub-directories in backup sets, instead of backing up them all separately. For example, create /usr/home/.bkp1 and move `foo' and `bar' into it, then create links so that the original pathnames remain functional. Then, list /usr/home/.bkp1 in the disklist. You may create as many `.bkp<N>' directories as you need. -- then, my doubt is the following: if I create a hidden directory /.furvbackup and into this a make some soft-links to the areas I want to backup, does it will work right? and another, I suppose there isn't problem to backup directories ( not partitions or disks) with amanda, is it right?, example, into disk list -> mypc /path/to/directory always-full Best regards, Raśl [EMAIL PROTECTED]
