how to tell amanda, that it can use the full bandwith? - some general questions
Hi, how to tell amanda, that it can use as much bandwith as possible? I have netusage 125000 in my amanda.conf. This should saturate a 1GB link, but amanda is still quite slow. I've got some other questions: how to stop a running amdump? retriving a one year old file? I know, there was a theead some time ago, but I can't find it anymore. Good books/HowTos/example configurations for amanda? I read a lot about amanda, but some documents were rather old/confusing. I hope that no one is offended by my questions, because the might be rtfm. Many thanks in advance, Johnny

The netusage parameter only affects whether or not to start a client dump. Once started, the dump uses all the bandwidth it can, no restraints in the amanda code. Look into aspects other than netusage for performance problems. What could be a good place to look at? I have no link problems. [...] retriving a one year old file? I know, there was a theead some time ago, but I can't find it anymore. How does that differ from a one day, week, or month old file? Well, with our old backup solution, we had a a full backup job, that ran once a month, and another job, that made the incremental backups. We kept the tapes from the full backup job, and the incremental tapes were overwritten after a while. The question is, how to set runspercycle, dumpcycle and tapecycle, that I can easily restore a two year old file with amanda. Johnny
Re: client with private address
Am Dienstag, 9.

Is there a way to do this without setting up a DNS for 10.160.32? I wish amanda would just believe the address that I put in disklist instead of double-checking with a DNS. Does she not trust me? Am I not trustworthy? I guess I'll pick at the docs for gethostbyaddr and gethostbyname calls to see if there is any way to modify their behavior, or if there is a different routine that I could plug in that would check /etc/hosts first, or something like that. --jonathan Johnny
