Hello amanda-users, I�m fiddling around with my settings right now to optimize my backups. Amanda is running fine now, I have just some more questions:
1) Not all hosts to be backed up have 100M-NICs inside, so while dumping them it slows down the connection to 100M-hosts. (Getting about 10kB/s right now on the 100M-host, that�s not much ...) The nic-setup is alright, when backing up only the 100M-hosts I get nice 4 to 8 MB/s dump-speed. I would like to configure amanda in a way that it runs the 10M-dumps in parallel and starts the 100M-dumps afterwards to speed up the whole process. Should I delay the 100M-dumps ? But it�s not easy to estimate when the slow dumps will be done ... 2) I run multiple dumps a day right now because I�m constantly adding new disks and testing parameters. My tapecycle is 11, my dumpcycle 14, I have 11 tapes labeled and used them all already, so that they are in my tapelist. But amanda is still requesting new tapes. Is this because I ran multiple dumps per day ? How I can I tell her to use DAILY01 after DAILY11 explicitly ? (Option reuse is already set in tapelist) Aside from those questions I would like to thank all amanda-users for their help. It helped me very much in setting up amanda and from my experience as admin I know that we all like to hear something else than sentences containing words like "problem" and such from time to time ;-) thank you, Stefan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
