Some machines which I back up are occasionally put to sleep. I have a few options:
I could try hard to keep the machines from going to sleep, but any user can put some of the machines to sleep. I could ignore the problem, and skip backing up machines which are asleep. I could use wakeonlan to wake up all of the machines which are subject to narcolepsy. My cron job could easily run wakeonlan for all of the machines before amdump starts. This will usually make the estimates run correctly. The dump itself may fail if the machines automatically sleep. Both dump and estimate are subject to failure if people put the machine to sleep, but this is probably less of a worry. Does amanda have a method of automatically running wakeonlan, or the equivalent? What do other people do? -- Kevin Dalley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
