Greetings We have been using amanda for many years. Our capacity had grown and currently we are backing up 60 file systems across 12 servers. The backup takes 9hrs to finish. We have tried to make it more efficient by changing the parameters "interface", and "net usage" of the amanda.conf and did not succeed( Probably those parameters do not matter). We would like to perform Full backup every Day to a SDLT Tape drive. We will be adding 2 IBM P570's and we are concerned about the duration of the backup. Can we find how the big sites manage this type of situation?. I appreciate any comments on this subject.
Thank You, Mangala Gunadasa EHIT/Montefiore Medical Center
