Hi List I have a Daily Config and Monthly archive Config (Last Friday of every month script) backup running using SuSE SLES 9, Amanda version 2.4.4p2 on the DAT 4MM*150MM tape server and 4 clients but version 2.5 on a new client I added to the DLE.
Anyway I for now dont want to update my main Amanda server for now due to other commitments but I would like to know is it possible TO add say a bi-weekly config that will back up to a external USB 250GB hard drive. As I am likely to purchase two external USB 250GB hard drive and I would like to backup bi-weekly/fornightly a full backup to the external USB 250GB hard drive. Which I can take off-site along with the Monthly archive DAT tapes, thus leave the other bi-weekly/fornightly on site. Thus have a Daily(incremental) Bi-weekly(full) and Monthly archive(full) setup running is this feasible. I have read up on Amanda virtual stuff but would rather for now utilise Amanda version 2.4.4p2.
