Hi,
I'm looking for experience reports on how to use amanda with more than on
tape drive to separate level0 and incremental backups and have them
accessible for restore as one continguous backup achiv.
Situatuation:
I have two tape drives. One with low capacity (2GB) and one with
lager (15GB). I'd like to store all level0 on lager tapes and all
incremental (level1 and above) on small ones. The larger drive can hold all
of my filesystems, if they are compressed with 'fast' gzip.
I know how to separate backups into level 0 and incremental levels
on different tapes. Configuration level0 stores to /dev/nst1 and
names its tapes "DLT3XT-[0-9][0-9][0-9]" while level1 stores to
/dev/nst0 and names them "QIC3080XLT-[0-9][0-9]".
But, I have no idea how to search across both setup's
on restore.
Should I name tapes equal instead?
Will that confuse the tape cycle?
Thanks,
Volker Apelt
