You mean, if I edit a file but the size doesn't change

Hi,

Here's a strategy that I implemented about a month ago that is working
pretty well so far:
1. run amdump every night to large RAID w/o tape, mix of full and incr
2. run script to separate images to amanda-incr and amanda-full
3. when amanda-full exceeds size of tape, run amflush

I want to do a full backup of various file systems on a remote host once a
week and then, ideally, incremental backups once a day to that same tape. At
the end of a week's backup, the tape should switch. One week&

Hi all
I am not sure how to do incremental backups, I have
configured in amanda.conf to only one full dump in a week, but not sure how I
can be exactly sure that it is doing a incremental backup and not a full backup.
How do I configure amanda,if I used the 5th tape different for each week
structures and incremental others to make it fit on a tape.
If you have large tapes and can do all full saves on one run then you can
manage it yourself with seperate conf files.

The problem with incremental backups is that it
eventually runs out of levels. It works fine for the
first few days, while the level increases daily. But
what happens once you reach 9?! It stays at 9 and
does a differential compared to the last 8, so it

Hi,
I have a disk that is a cache for database backups
and is a set of 30 directories with database exports
of the last 30 days. I want to use Amanda to backup
ONLY the latest written directory every night,
without ever doing a full backup of the whole disk

to fit on one tape! :( )

I saw in the FAQs that this did not seem possible but was wondering if anyone
