Hello All
I am very new to Amanda and I would like to ask a question about
the possibility of testing a specific configuration.
Let's assume that I have enuogh confidence in my Amanda configuration but
before using it in a production environment I would like to test how the
backups work. Mainly I would like to do the following:
1) To run the backup procedure a numer of times in a row and see/check
that the tapes are correctly used and reused.
2) That I am able to perform restore operations.
Is it possibile to do that? I am mainly interested in 1 because so far I
was not able to do that. The unexpected thing that happens when I
run the backup task in a row is that Amanda behaves as if it is not
able to detect the passing of time (probably because it checks the real
calendaristic time).
I've also tried to make the backup task thinkg that it is running in a
different day by using libfaketime. No success.
Thank you.
Cristian
