Hi John,
You really must get some sleep. By using 2 separate configs does amanda
search both when you do a restore? What I can do with Networker is to
run the recover program and it will automatically restore all the
Incrementals back to the last full dump. That is one of the main reasons
that I would like that, the archiving stuff is quite useful as well,
because I know which tapes have the full dumps on them without
disturbing the incrementals.
Does the tape pool used by amanda mix the full and incremental backups
on a single tape?
Thanks
