Hi all, new to the group! :-) Welcome! I have a 400GIG RAID array on an Sun E3500 and a new Exabyte 110L tape library to back it up. OK. Also, the 110L has scsi mode and sequential mode, not sure which one would be best. I'm not sure what sequential mode is, but given the choice, I'd go

Ok, I have a system on a different network I want to back up. I can't access it directly from my amanda server because of IP masquerading. So my thought was that I would have the gateway system that sits between these two nets nfs-mount the filesystems from the system I want to back up. amanda
