Hey folks,
I've been using Amanda on my network for sometime now and think that
it's really a great distributed backup system.
However, I'd like to create a "Monthly" profile to complement my
"Daily" profile to do full backups of everything once a month.
I just have one problem in that I don't think that the "tapetype"
program calculated the capacity of my tapes with hardware compression.
Here's the result that I got (I posted it on the FAQ-O-MATIC):
define tapetype Maxell-DDS4-Hardware-Compress {
comment "Maxell HS-4/150s DDS-4 with hardware compression"
# data provided by Luc Lalonde <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
length 16985 mbytes
filemark 400 kbytes
speed 1579 kps
}
It seems to me that the length should be between 30 and 40 gigs with
hardware compression. I checked to see
if the compression was on before the calculation with the command "mt -f
/dev/nst0 datcomp" and I got an answer
that it was indeed on.
What am I missing here (I'm using linux-2.2.18 on a PentiumIII with an
HP SureStore DAT40) ?
Cheers.
