Using AManda

[Vijay Kumar]

hi!
I am a beginner here.
 ACtually i need to backup a NFS mounted file system 
(only /home) from a linux client/server on to iself or any other linux 
client's hard disk (sorry no tape drive business!).
How shd I configure my amanda-conf for this? 
And what would be reasonable values for dumpscyle , tapedev,tapechanger?

Also the previous mails told me that dump was not recommended for 
linux?and that one hsd go for tar ? Is that so? 
i have tar 1.13.17 . Will that be good or do i need to upgrade to 1.13.19 
.Also i dont have readline, termcap. Do i also need to install them?

Vijay

Amanda Basics

[Vijay Kumar]

hi!
I am a newbee here and am just abt to install Amanda to take incremantal 
backups of abt 15 linux clients. I had a few elementary questions

1. I have tar 1.13.19 . Where do i get the patch up for runing Amanda 
using tar and how exactly do i apply it?

2.My purpose is to take incremental backups of the machines on the hard 
disks of some of the machines itself (NO TAPE).( Ours is a very 
small group of Graduate students having a very small network of abt 15 Linux clients 
and a Linux server, so our requirements are very modest ;-) ).So any ideas 
how shd i configure my Amanda (probable values of dumpcycle , runsperdump 
,tapedevs ..etc) .

3.Does Amanda decide for itself when to take a full backup and when to go 
for a incremental one? If yes how does it do that?

4.I dont have a tape device so what do i specify abt the tape dev location 
and tapechng in configuration?

thanks ,

Vijay

Incremental Backups

[Vijay Kumar]

hi!
I am looking for a backup software that can do incremental backups of my 
clients on our local lab LAN (10 clients and a Linux server).
Also if possible i wont like to write to a tape , instead can the backup be taken on 
some other media or hard disk 
?
Does Amanda provide both these facilities?

thanks for any help,

Vijay
