If you are indeed using iptables, look into the DNAT and SNAT components...they are very useful for what you want to do. Amanda has a more or less (if compiled that way) set range of ports used that is fairly well documented. Used in conjunction with *NAT options it should allow you to do wha

That would only allow connections back in, but that assumes they can get back inwhich I don't think they can given the NAT situation. Let me clarify: Tape Server 10.100.100.x | firewall nat all lab stuff out to public ip 9.x.x.x | Client to backup Sees tape server as nated 9.x.x.x

Can you break up the stuff into subdirectories, or files that are less than 1 tape? i.e. /bigparition might be 1 TB but you might have: filea < 1 tape fileb < 1 tape filec < 1 tape etc etc As long as you can, you should be able to use tar with amanda, exclude certain files, and backup the ones

I'm not an expert in UFS, but could the drive be getting fragmented? Are you running with compression, and could the data in the database be getting more chaotic, thus increasing the size (as well as the time to compress) of the compressed file? --- "Patrick M. Hausen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
