That's the basic idea.
Much of the information between the two configurations can be shared.
For amanda.conf, "includefile" is a big help. For instance, my tapetype
entries are stored in a file that all the amanda.conf files bring in
like this:
includefile "../cf/tapetype"
The disklist file can be symlinked between the two so any changes you
make to the DailySet setup will automatically be seen in ArchiveSet.
The rest of the areas (logfile, infofile and indexdir) need to be
kept separate. You may or may not be able to share the holding disk
(depends on whether DailySet and ArchiveSet will run at the same time).
You can either have a slightly different dumptype (with dumpcycle 0) in
ArchiveSet to do the level 0's, or you could do an "amadmin ArchiveSet
force" before the run.
