I'm curious to know who out there is running the daily Amanda snapshots. A *lot* of new code has gone in since the 2.6.1 release, and I'd like to see it tested now, rather than waiting until the beta process begins. We've rewritten the taper to use the transfer architecture; rewitten all uses of the old taperscan algorithm to use the simpler and more explicit Amanda::Taper::Scan::traditional; rewritten several other applications to use the new Changer API; and added a new chg-robot to replace the crusty old chg-zd-mtx. I'm working on rewriting the restore/recover applications now. The idea is to completely jettison the old Changer API before the next relase.
So, please let me know if the snapshots are working for you! Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
