I'm fairly new to Amanda, having set up hardware configurations, some small test backups (including some samba mounts), and generally getting things ready for a full transfer over to Amanda (getting away from a bunch of custom-made scripts kludged together 4 or so years ago). Hardware is configured and working, backups work, only thing remaining is to get the actual backup scheduling hammered out. Here's what I would like to do:
Groups: A, B, C Schedule: Mon - Grp. A, Tues - Grp. B, Wed - Grp. C, Thurs - Grp. A, Fri - Grp. B, Sat - Grp. C So far, it looks like I need to create 3 different configurations with their appropriate disklists, and their own tapelists (let's call the configs QSI1, QSI2, and QSI3). It would appear when QSI1 runs, that QSI2 doesn't know what tape QSI1 used (as it keeps it's own history in the QSI1 file path). Now, amanda.conf has entries for 'infofile', 'indexdir', etc. If I point all 3 configs to one directory for common files, could I then 'share' the tape tracking and info between them? Would having 3 different 'tapelist' files bring up conflicts with tracking? If anyone else has done something like this or has suggestions on other ways I could accomplish what I'd like to do, I'd greatly appreciate hearing.
