I have a scare yesterday with our raid 5 a raid disk died. Hence I have ordered a hot spare and an additional raid disk But I need to do a full amanda backup prior to tar'ing up my file system. Thus I currently run a daily increment backup and a last day on a friday full amanda backup. Is there a way to force a amdump - Monthly Backup at end of day from the command line.
I don't fully understand your setup, but there's a couple of ways to force a full backup:
1) In your normal 'daily' setup, run 'amadmin $CONFIG force' for each DLE. 2) Copy your daily config's amanda.conf and disklist into a new config (e.g. Archive) and change your dumpcycle to 0 in the new config. Then run that config. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
