Gene, I thought about this approach, and wasn't sure it would work. * Amanda would assume it was only using one drive, so its metadata wouldn't agree with either drive. * Each drive would have every other dumpcycle, so you could find yourself switching drive in the middle of a backup, and I suspect neither Amanda nor the OS would like that. My solution is a bit different: three drives, one of which stays put and the other two of which rotate to the offsite location. http://www.charlescurley.com/blog/articles/off_site_backups_for_amanda/index.html And encrypt the files using ecryptfs. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
