Hello, A question about amanda's indexing and database
Short version: Does a mechanism to share databases exist in amanda? Long version: (best with an example) I want >4 different configurations. All but one will be in offsite storage. I want different configurations because then I will be assured that each tapeset I have in the changer will be a complete set that I change out each week for a new set. example: five configurations: Daily1-5 dumpcycle = five weeks runspercycle = 7 days worth tapecyle = as many as needed to be complete... disklist, changer.conf, and common parts of amanda.conf files would be hardlink shared between all configurations. Each week cron would use a different configuration, and so long as the dumpdates don't overlap, they won't interfere with each other. The problem: to do a restore, I would need to remember or calculate What configuration was used during the targeted backup time. The solution (I think): make a parent configuration of all of the configurations that can be queried. the act of setting a restore date would tell the parent config what database to use. Has someone already done this, or is work proceeding along these lines? --jason ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jason Brooks ~ (503) 641-3440 x1861 Direct ~ (503) 924-1861 Email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Twiki: http://twiki.wrs.com/do/view/Main/JasonBrooks Senior Systems Administration Analyst Wind River Systems 8905 SW Nimbus ~ Suite 255 Beaverton, Or 97008
