I understand that to use Amanda to backup to a disk, I need to set the
tapedev entry in amanda.conf to a value like
tapedev "file:/some/directory/somewhere"
My question is: how do I do this if the disk is on another computer?
Assume for example, if I have a computer named "earth" with a 100gb data
disk that holds the /home directory (that's the only directory on that
filesystem), and another computer named "moon" that has 300gb of
diskspace to use as backup space (both computers are running RH Linux w/
Samba installed).
Does "earth" nfs mount the large disk on "moon" and simply write to it?
I assume that this will run on earth as root so that it can have
permissions to get to all the files, right?
