My disk is split thusly:
/dev/sda6 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6 16G 2.9G 13G 18% /
/dev/sda1 23M 17M 4.4M 80% /boot
What's the best disklist setup for this? - should I have a single entry for
/, or multiple entries for /, /home, /var for example?
I assume if I go for multiple entries on the same partition I'd need to
setup exclude entries for each - ie. for / I'd need to exclude /home, /var.
Would it make restores quicker if I had multiple entries?
Also, are restores quicker if I use hw compression instead of sw
compression? (I'm thinking it wouldn't have to decompress the whole tar file
to find what to restore...)
Other stuff: I'm using DDS-3 tapes, only backing up one machine (itself),
RH6.2, amanda-2.4.2p1.
That was a few more questions than I intended. Well, I'd appreciate any help
- I've done lots of reading but I don't really have the big picture yet...
Thanks
Steve Woodcock
