-and thanks for all the tape...
I've moved on to backups using a single LTO-2 drive instead of this Sony
DDS3 auto-loader. As backup needs and approaches have changed (and the
engineering dept. will use the changer from now on, most likely), I say
'goodbye' to Amanda for now.
Ever since I lear
Just recently purchased an IBM 200/400G LTO-2 (internal) drive. And the
sucker is -SLOW-. Amtapetype ran for over 24 hours and didn't finish.
I'm running the Bacula tape test util right now for a full tape write,
and in the past... 21 hours, it's progressed to 14G, and reporting a
rate of aro
(Hmmm, forgot to Cc: this to the list...)
As Brian's mentioned, Amanda is designed to handle full and incremental
backups on her own (yes, I refer to Amanda as 'her,' I'm one of those
'anthropomorphing' types...). Where, yes, it may be a bit harder for
you as a human to track (not being able to sa
my manager). I'm kinda pushing for the auto-loader myself, so I
can keep using Amanda (though I say it's 'for future capacity expansion
options,' of course. ;) ).

Sorry to send this out to the Amanda list, I just figure it's one of the
better collectives of tape-device users to ask...

For further reference, Server 1 is running Mandrake (Pro.) 9.2, and Server

Any thoughts, anyone running Mandrake 10.0 t
Erf, my bad. I meant 'mt' in the first email, not 'mtx.' The majority of
command-line stuff I do is with the changer, 'mtx on the brain' I
suppose... Single tape unit, yes, DDS-3.

Sony SDT-9000 this way? Sorry
to post this to the Amanda list (it'd actually be for a second Amanda
setup if I can get it up and working again), but thought it'd be a good
place to find down and dirty tape drive experience like this. Replies can
be off-list, thanks.

and/or SMB), or in
creating a special 'shared backup partition' on each machine, size
regulation coming from the physical size of the partition. The idea of
'size throttling' would be much more dynamic than physical partitions, but
it's the 'kludgibility'
ference between 'Could you keep the size of the share you want backed
up to X?' and 'There is a limit to back up sizes of X. Anything you have
above this WILL NOT be backed up...'

internal DDS-4 single (server backups), with Amanda and
Arkeia jobs running simultaneously every night. Works like a champ.

apes? Is there a way where I can indeed tell Amanda '30G of people to
backup, do only 10G a day, but make sure every one is backed up at least
twice in one week'?

one else has done something like this or has suggestions on other
ways I could accomplish what I'd like to do, I'd greatly appreciate
hearing. Thanks for your time!
