Umm ... we aren't talking about the benefits of a holding disk. We're
specifically talking about the benefits of a holding disk **on the same
device** as the virtual tapes.

If my memory is correct (I set mine up a long time ago), you would be
better off just letting Amanda do what it wants/needs. That way, you
don't have to worry about permissions / naming conventions / etc.

I feel like I've asked this before, but I can't find any emails.
I can't believe this isn't an FAQ. Or rather, there is an FAQ, but the
answer is (a) very sparse and (b) doesn't really answer the question.
I had a machine. That machine was getting regular backups. The machine
died. I have
update the snapshot every now and
then. But assuming that's a good idea, I'd need a HOWTO for that.
Thanks.

Thanks for the tip. That led me to
https://adsm.org/lists/html/Amanda-Users/2006-04/msg00155.html
which explained the issue perfectly. I'll try it out tonight.

than to need multiple disks for restores ... but I don't agree. I'm
much more concered about (virtual) tape usage and backup speed.
Is there something I can do? A setting I can change? Or a log I
can look at to figure out why? Or is this "just the way it is"?
Thanks.

* small I want these DLEs
to be. These are doing backups over wifi, and it's not very good
wifi to begin with. I don't want the backups to take 24 hours;
I don't want them to take 8 hours if I can help it.
These are, for the most part, single-user machines. It's not a matter
of /home/* , it's
a "real" level-0 backup.

That would be nice. In the meantime, thanks for the advice.

Greetings.
I'm experimenting with how I can split up a couple of very large
backups into multiple smaller backups.
newlaptop.local.net /home/nothymie /home {
simple-gnutar-remote
exclude "./hymie"
estimate client
}
newlaptop.local.net /home/hymie /home {
simple-gnu
ool app_amgtar {
plugin "amgtar"
comment "amgtar"
}
define dumptype simple-amgtar-local {
auth "local"
program "APPLICATION"
application "app_amgtar"
}
--hymie!
and this is perhaps somehow confusing amanda. But I have no idea if that's
true.
I didn't have this problem on the old machine.
If anybody has some advice, either to fix or to troubleshoot, I'd appreciate
it.
