I took the liberty of deleting the comments and unneeded tapetypes/dumptypes. 800 lines dropped to about 50. Hope I did not drop anything significant to the discussion. Amazing how "simple" amanda.conf can become. I put two questions inline. || || Here are the 2 parts of the config: || || first file: || ===================== || || mailto "root" || dumpuser "amanda" || netusage 100000 Kbps || maxdumps 1 || || bumpsize 10 Mb || bumpdays 1 || bumpmult 4 || || etimeout 1800 || || runtapes 1 || reserve 0 || || define tapetype DEC-TZ89 { || comment "DEC TZ89 (hardware compression on: Xmn)" || length 29414 mbytes || filemark 24 kbytes || speed 1634 kps || } || || ====================== || || and the other: || || ====================== || || org "IS" || || inparallel 1 || || dumpcycle 8 || runspercycle 0 || tapecycle 4 Not sure I understand this set of parameters. runspercycle == 0 causes all level 0 dumps I believe. In that case the "length" of the dumpcycle is immaterial. Each time you run amdump, everything will get full dumps. Are you saying you plan to run amdump once each 8 days and that you want only level 0 dumps each run? And further, you will rotate 4 tapes totaling 32 days of backups available? || || holdingdisk hd1 { || comment "main holding disk for IS" || directory "/data/amanda/IS" || use -1 || chunksize 2 Gb || } || || || tapedev "/dev/null" || tapetype DEC-TZ89 Is your DEC tapedrive really attached to the null device? Doesn't work very well that way does it? :)) || labelstr "^IS[0-9][0-9]*$" || || infofile "/var/lib/amanda/IS/curinfo" || logdir "/var/lib/amanda/IS" || indexdir "/var/lib/amanda/IS/index" || || includefile "/etc/amanda/amanda-shared.conf" || || =================== || || the first file is used by all configs. The second one is one specific || config. || -- Jon H. LaBadie [EMAIL PROTECTED] JG Computing 4455 Province Line Road (609) 252-0159 Princeton, NJ 08540-4322 (609) 683-7220 (fax)
