Greetings, I'm wondering if it's at all possible to get amanda to use multiple simultaneous configurations with the same filesystems, such that incrementals are taken based on previous dumps within the same configuration.
For example, let's say we have a MonthlySet WeeklySet DailySet configuration. Incremental dumps on a MonthlySet tape should be based on previous MonthlySet tapes, not any WeeklySet or DailySet that may have transpired in between. (Think "permanent archives" here.) Similarly, a WeeklySet incremental should be based on the previous WeeklySet tapes, and DailySet incrementals on previous DailySet tapes only. It appears there's no way to convince amanda to actually do this, because both amandates and GNUTAR_LISTED_INCREMENTAL_DIR are hardcoded at compile time. We'd need to be able to specify one or other of these per configuration to achive our objective, correct? Has anyone attempted anything like this before? It doesn't seem that unusual, does it? Finally, is there any reason *why* GNUTAR_LISTED_INCREMENTAL_DIR isn't configurable in amanda.conf? Any suggestions/advice/heckling appreciated... -- Phil Homewood, Systems Janitor, http://www.SnapGear.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ph: +61 7 3435 2810 Fx: +61 7 3891 3630 SnapGear - Custom Embedded Solutions and Security Appliances
