My boss just asked me about redundancy in amanda. I explainmed to him how the software distributes the full backups over the runspercycle in an attempt to equalize the tape usage on each day's backup. He asked me if a tape were lost or damaged how much of the data could be restored? I don't really have answer to that one.
Right now I have setup: dumpcycle 7 days tapecycle 15 runspercycle 5 runtapes 2 Backups usually take one tape. Is there any way I can estimate just how much data would be lost if any one tape were unavailable or unreadable? -- -- Stephen Carville UNIX and Network Administrator Ace Flood USA 310-342-3602 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
