Andreas, Please post you solution to the list, I've now got a couple of zpools, and it would be helpful if I was able to use a 'tape changer' to find different vtapes on different pools.
This would be better, I think, than linking directories across, and because of the different disk architectures and that possiblility of replacing some drives for larger ones, I don't want to stripe across the two pools. thanks, Brian On Sun, Oct 21, 2012 at 05:29:30PM +0200, Andreas Sundstrom wrote: > I'm probably using quite ancient versions of amanda (using Debian, and > due to a kerberos problem I'm still on 2.5.2p1). > Anyway.. > > I want to use external disks instead of tapes for my backups.
