Hi, I have recently switched to Amanda for making my backups (yes, that means I'm new to Amanda). I have several small (/etc, /var/lib/rpm, /var/spool/mail) directories to backup and one large directory (/home). I would like to back these up to disk. I have followed the HOWTO and all is working fine.
But... how do I setup my tapes? If I create 16 5GB tapes with a dumpcycle of 7 days, I cannot store /home on them (not enough space). But if I create 8 10GB tapes, I will only have one full backup per dumpcycle, where I would prefer two. And, my tapes would be mostly empty (only a full backup requires 10GB). What is a wise strategy? Can I use two tapes in parallel in a disk backup? How? I am using chg-disk as my tpchanger. Are there better solutions? Kind regards, Mark Wormgoor -- *************************************************************** * |\ /| | /| / Mark Wormgoor * * | \ / | | / | / mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * | \/ |ark |/ |/ormgoor http://www.wormgoor.com/mark/ * ***************************************************************
