Hi,
I was inspired to mess with the Amanda program for the nth time recently.
It seem to have the feature that I want - & some that I do not want as
well!
What I cannot seem to figure out is supposing I have 8 machines ( 1 main
server & 7 others) & want to do a full backup of the main server every night
& a full backup of one other machine per day either in rotation or ad-hoc
how can I persuade amanda to allow me to label / rotate tapes manually &
always do a full backup of the specified machine?
It appears to me that much effort has gone into the scheduling etc but I am
completely unclear as to how I might just say "backup machine 10.0.78.56 (
or whatever ) in full to whatever tape happens to be in the drive - no
arguments - no wrong tape etc just do it!" . - Or for that matter restore a
file / group of files from tape in drive to machine
xx.xx.xx.xx:/directory/subdirectory
Surely there must be a way to use the program on a more simple basis as
above
Perhaps sonmeone would be good enough to shed some light on this mystery
please??
Thanks & Regards,
