Hi, I am just learning about Amanda and it sounds like it fits in well with what I am doing. I have a few questions for anyone that can help after describing what I am trying to do below. I have Solaris 2.6, 2.7 on Suns, and Redhat Linux 6.1, 6.2 intel computers in which I intend to make tar or ufsdump/dump files using nfs and putting all backup files on one Linux 6.2 backup server with 135GB of disk space. This backup server is using the large file system kernel in which I have made 28GB tar files for testing purposes on the backup server itself. I then intend saving the one backup server to a Qualstar AIT2 tape library unless I can use Amanda to save more directly. Redhat's current nfs limitation is 2 GB (nfs version 3 is suppose to improve this, coming soon). This means a dump over nfs does not work over 2GB unless you use multiple file names in the dump command. Linux dump has this option to get around the 2GB limit. Not sure if Solaris ufsdump supports multiple filenames. How does Amanda handle this situation when Linux has a 2GB nfs limitation? Does Amanda use nfs, sockets, or what? I realize I can make my backup files smaller than 2GB, but that is a last resort. Also, does Amanda work with Qualstar AIT2 tape libraries? Thank you for your help. -- Jim LaGore [EMAIL PROTECTED]
