Hi All,
Just want to check if my understanding is correct:-
I have a HP SureStore 12000E changer tape holding HP-DAT DDS-120 tapes. I
run amanda with mtx and chg-zd-mtx. It seems that the mtx works correctly,
at least, amcheck does not give me errors on the server side.
What I want to do with this config. is to backup a couple of linux
machines. I know that I need several configs, and the simplest is to have
one config per machine. I want to set things up so that one tape will
serve one machine. From what I've read, it seems that amanda checks things
out depending on the labels.
For example, if I want to backup two machines, so I make two set of
configuration files, each with different label patterns in amanda.confs.
My changer has 6 slots, and I insert 6 tapes in them, and label them with
3 tapes matching one set of configuration pattern, and 3 others matching
the other one. So, when I run amanda to do the backup, will amanda figure
out itself which tape to use? So, does this also mean that I have to
amlabel those tapes manually before use?
-Daniel.
