Well, keep in mind that you only need to buy the disks after your
building burns down and you need new equipment. THe point is to avoid
reading tapes multiple times - you never know when they are going to
fail. Post-disaster, tape

Thanks Joshua.
I figured that is what is needed in order to recover my backup server. I'm
familiar with Tivoli Disaster Recovery.
Thanks again.

That's a part of the taper rewrite work to be done. It will provide
for a "File-1" that is written at the start of each tape and a "File-N"
that is written at the end of each tape. What you put in them will be
up to you, but the Amanda confi

Or to a MO/Zip/ORB disk. You just have to
cp -auv /var/lib/amanda/Set1
It may not be "vital" for the backups to save the index, but I insist on
having it doubly copied to
my personal strategy is as follows:
- I have Imagecast images for our 4 generic server types (NT/2000 web and
db). this allows me to quickly deploy the OS and necessary applications.
There are several products like Imagecast out on the market for imaging
windows partitions.
- change the network
Backup only the data. Keep a copy of the install CDs and install
instructions on site and off site. Practice your re-install. (We can
re-install a box in under four hours with Citrix and all apps.)

Greetings;
After last nights run, I thought I'd see if it was using the new versions of
things, but the only routine of those that do report in their debug files
what version they are, is the runtar I copied out
of /usr/local/libexec/amanda/runtar and put in /usr/local/libexec.
